The native form of Filippa in Polish is Filipina, also used in Slavic origins. The origin of Filippa has been connected to the Ancient Greek name Phílippos meaning 'horse-loving and fond of horses.' During the time of the ancient Greeks, being the owner of a horse was a noble gesture, and only those who were wealthy enough to acquire one were considered noble. An example of such a noble was the King of Macedon, Philip V, called Philippos. King Philippos was the father of Alexander the Great and a staunch member of the Argead dynasty. During his time as king, he forged strong alliances and ruled the kingdom of Macedonia for over 20 years. During the reign of the Spanish Empire, also called the Hispanic Monarchy, migrants from all over the world moved to different places, spreading the use of the name Filippa in various forms. In Portuguese, Filippa is called Philippa, meaning 'horse lover,' among the Czechs, Filippa is known as 'květiny,' meaning 'flowers,' and in Russian, German, and Spanish, the name is known in variations as Philipa, Filipina, Fillippa, and others. Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Sweden, and Croatia are the countries where the name Filippa is most used. Among these people, it is believed that people named Filippa are science-inclined and seek spirituality and wisdom. They are also nature lovers and have a peaceful aura around them.
