Meaning:Horse lover; Friend of horses
Meet Phyllip, a delightful twist on the classic names Phillip and Philip. Originating from the Greek Philippos, which means "friend of horses," Phyllip gets its animal-loving meaning from a combination of philos ("friend") and hippos ("horse.") Back in Ancient Greece, owning a horse was considered a privilege, and thus anyone who had one was considered to be a noble and wealthy person. Famous folks like Philip II of Macedon, Alexander the Great's dad, led this name to great heights. In the words of Donkey from Shrek, your little Phyllip is set to be quite the noble steed!
