What does Pippa mean?
2 syllables

Pippa is a lively short form of Philippa, the feminine version of Philip. Philippa comes from the Greek Philippos, combining "philos" (friend, lover of) and "hippos" (horse), meaning "lover of horses."

Pippa is bright, bouncy, and full of energy — a name that seems to skip rather than walk. It suits an active, spirited pet who's always ready for the next adventure.
