📖 Acerca de Philippa
Philippa es la forma femenina de Felipe, del griego Philippos, que significa "amante de los caballos." Llevada por reinas medievales como Philippa de Hainaut y Philippa de Lancaster —cuyo matrimonio con el rey João I de Portugal consolidó la histórica alianza anglolusitana—, el nombre ha sido sinónimo de nobleza y distinción durante siglos. Es especialmente apreciado en el Reino Unido, Australia y Portugal, donde convive con la variante Filipa.
