Meaning: Lover of horses

Whether searching for that quintessential French charm or wishing to honor baby’s ancestry, Philippe shines as a handsome title for boys. Derived from the Greek name Phílippos, Philippe means “lover of horses” and was borne by members of the nobility—those wealthy enough to afford horses.

Gifting baby with the name Philippe may remind them to grab the reins of life and ride their chariot to success.
