Pippa is a girl’s name that comes from the Greek words philos, meaning “loving,” and hippo, meaning “horse.” Together, they mean “lover of horses.” While Pippa is often used as a nickname or diminutive of Philippa, Penelope, or even Philippine, it can also be a given name in its own right. It was popularized by Pippa Middleton, English socialite and sister to Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.
