Filippo

Meaning of Filippo

Filippo, pronounced fee-LEEP-poh, is an Italian form of the classic Greek Philippos, meaning “lover of horses.” It dances off the tongue like a gentle breeze over Tuscan hills. It carries the regal spirit of Philip II of Macedon, father of Alexander the Great. Though still uncommon in the U.S., Filippo has appeared steadily over the past century in birth records, with 22 babies named Filippo in 2024, landing at #902 in popularity. This warm, melodic name appeals to families who want a spirited yet approachable choice. With its rich heritage and vivid imagery, Filippo evokes strength, warmth, and a touch of Mediterranean magic—and though he honors his horse-loving roots, he’s just as happy chasing toy cars across the living room.
