Phipps

Wherever they trot, baby Phipps can show the world that they’re one to watch! A shortened form of the name Philip, Phipps is yet another example of an English surname that can change course and become a masculine first name. Phipps and Philip both derive from the Greek name Philippos, which has a very equine-inspired meaning. A combination of the elements philos, meaning “friend” or “lover,” and híppos, meaning “horse,” Phipps translates to “horse-lover” or “friend of horses.” A sign that if there’s a horse stable nearby, baby Phipps will be there at a gallop!
