Philippa is a given name meaning "lover of horses" or "horses' friend". Common alternative spellings include ''Filippa'', ''Phillipa'' and, less often, ''Filipa''. It is the feminine form of the masculine name ''Philip''. It is composed of the Greek elements ''philein'' (to love) and ''hippos'' (horse), and is derived from the name of Alexander the Great's father, the ancient Greek king, ''Philip II of Macedon'' (''aka'' ''Philippos'', ''Filippos'', and ''Pilipos''), who was an avid horse lover. The name is commonly shortened to the nicknames ''Pippa'', ''Pippy'', and Pip.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=View Name: Philippa )〕 Notable people with the name Philippa include: *Saint Philippa, 3rd-century martyr and saint *Philippa Courtney, Australian journalist and television presenter *Philippa Boyens, New Zealand screenwriter *Philippa Fawcett, English mathematician *Philippa Foot, British philosopher *Philippa Forrester, British television presenter and producer *Philippa Gregory, British novelist *Philippa of Hainault, queen consort of Edward III of England *Philippa Middleton, English - Sister of Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge. *Philippa Pearce, English children's author *Philippa Plantagenet, granddaughter of Edward III of England *Philippa Schuyler, American child prodigy and pianist *Philippa Tomson, legendary Tyne Tees Television weathergirl *Philippa of Lancaster, English princess, consort queen of Portugal *Philippa of Coimbra, Portuguese person *Pippa Mann, Izod Indycar Series driver ==See also== *Filipa 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Philippa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
