Filípp
Did you know?
- While the formal name is Фили́пп, a Russian speaker would almost never call a friend or child by this full name, instead using the much more common diminutive 'Filya' (Фи́ля/Фи́ля).
- Russian culture associates the name Филипп with the flamboyant pop superstar Philipp Kirkorov, often called the 'Russian King of Pop'.
- The word for 'horse' in Greek, from which Филипп is derived, creates a hidden semantic link to the Russian word for 'philanthropy' which shares the same root for 'love'.
