覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Philip は英語圏の男性名で、ギリシャ語の philos「愛する」と hippos「馬」に由来します。「馬を愛する者」という構成を、philosophy の philo-「愛する」と hippopotamus の hippo-「馬」に結び付けると覚えやすいでしょう。Philip is studying、invite Philip のように人物を指す固有名詞なので、通常は先頭を大文字にします。Phillip は別の一般的な綴りです。
Remember Philip through its Greek components: phil- relates to loving, as in philosophy, and -hip relates historically to hippos, “horse,” also seen in hippopotamus, literally “river horse.” Together, the original name meant “lover of horses.” In modern English, however, Philip is simply a male given name; speakers do not use it as a descriptive phrase. Picture normal personal contexts such as Philip studying architecture or inviting coworkers to a party. Capitalize it as a proper name. Also notice the standard spelling Philip with one l in the middle; Phillip, with two, is a recognized variant.
例文
Philip is studying architecture at a university in London.

フィリップ殿下はイギリス王室への長年の貢献で知られていました。
Philip invited everyone in the office to his birthday party.

philip の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ギリシャ語 Philippos（フィリッポス）に由来し、philos（愛する）+ hippos（馬）で「馬を愛する者」を意味する。古代ギリシャでは馬は富と軍事力の象徴だった。関連語: philosophy（哲学＝知を愛する）、hippopotamus（カバ＝川の馬）。
Philip comes through Latin Philippus from Ancient Greek Philippos. The Greek name combines philos, “dear, loving, or friend,” with hippos, “horse,” and thus has the traditional sense “lover of horses.” Horses were closely associated with wealth, status, transport, and warfare in the ancient Greek world. The name spread widely through rulers, saints, and later European naming traditions. Philippa is the corresponding feminine form, and Phillip is a common spelling variant.
