覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
通常は Philippa と大文字で始める女性名で、男性名 Philip に対応する形。Philip＋女性名に見られる語尾 -pa という関係を意識し、Philippa wrote her name のように人物を主語にする場面で覚える。語源要素はギリシャ語の「愛する」と「馬」だが、現代では意味を訳さず人名として扱う。綴りは ph と pp を保つ。
Connect Philippa with the familiar male name Philip: Philippa is its feminine counterpart. Picture a woman writing “Philippa” at the top of a form, which reinforces that it is a personal name and should normally begin with a capital letter. Keep the spelling carefully: it starts with Ph and contains a double p before the final a. Its ancient elements are associated with loving horses, but in present-day English it functions simply as a woman’s name rather than as a descriptive phrase. Related forms such as Philip and Philippe help anchor the name family.

philippa の語源・成り立ち Etymology
Philippa は Philip の女性形で、ラテン語 Philippus を経てギリシャ語 Philippos にさかのぼります。philo-「愛する」+ hippos「馬」から成り、もとは「馬を愛する人」。関連形に Philip、Philippe があります。
Philippa is the feminine form of Philip. The name passed through Latin Philippus and ultimately comes from Greek Philippos. That Greek name combines philos or the related phil- element, expressing love or fondness, with hippos, meaning “horse,” and was traditionally understood as “lover of horses.” Philippa developed as a feminine personal-name form and has long been used for women in English and other European historical and modern contexts.
