Strong's Lexicon Philippos: Philip Original Word: Φίλιππος Word Origin: Derived from φίλος (philos, meaning "friend" or "lover") and ἵππος (hippos, meaning "horse") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for Philip, as it is a Greek name. However, the concept of a "lover of horses" might be loosely related to Hebrew names or terms involving horses, such as סוּס (sus, meaning "horse"). Usage: The name Philip means "lover of horses." In the New Testament, it is used to refer to multiple individuals, most notably Philip the Apostle and Philip the Evangelist. Philip the Apostle was one of the twelve disciples of Jesus, while Philip the Evangelist was one of the seven deacons appointed in the early church. Cultural and Historical Background: The name Philip was common in the Hellenistic world, often associated with nobility and leadership, as seen in historical figures like Philip II of Macedon, the father of Alexander the Great. In the New Testament context, Philip the Apostle hailed from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter, and played a significant role in the early spread of Christianity. Philip the Evangelist, also known as Philip the Deacon, was instrumental in the early church's mission, particularly in Samaria and in the conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch.
