📖 Über Filippa

Filippa ist die anmutige weibliche Form von Philipp, abgeleitet vom griechischen Philippos mit der Bedeutung „Pferdefreund". Der Name hat sich in zwei unterschiedlichen Kulturräumen entfaltet: In Portugal trägt er das mittelalterliche Erbe der Philippa von Lancaster – der englischen Königin, die die Prinzen des Zeitalters der Entdeckungen zur Welt brachte –, während er in Skandinavien, besonders in Schweden, Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts zu einem modernen Lieblingsnamen wurde, geschätzt für seine klassische Eleganz und königliche Ausstrahlung.
