Felipa is a girl’s name of Greek origin. A variant of Phillipa, Felipa derives from the Greek words philos—“friend” or “lover”—and hippos—“horses” or _“_cavalry”—and means “friend of horses” or “lover of horses.” Strong and smart, horses are majestic creatures that are more than worthy of baby’s admiration. Domesticated more than 4,000 years ago, they are known for their intelligence, speed, spirited nature, and beauty. If you’re an equestrian, you’ll especially love that this name saddles baby Felipa with a lifelong passion for your favorite animal.
