Philip — Greek name meaning 'lover of horses,' borne by the apostle, the evangelist, and Herodian tetrarchs
Philippos ('lover of horses') is a Greek personal name borne by several New Testament figures. Philip the apostle, from Bethsaida, is introduced in John 1:43-48 as the one who brings Nathanael to Jesus and later serves as a mediator for Greek seekers (John 12:21-22). He asks Jesus to 'show us the Father' in the Upper Room discourse, prompting the luminous reply 'he who has seen me has seen the Father' (John 14:8-9). Philip the evangelist, one of the Seven (Acts 6:5), preaches in Samaria (Acts 8:5-13), baptizes the Ethiopian eunuch on the Gaza road (Acts 8:26-39), and later hosts Paul in Caesarea with his four prophesying daughters (Acts 21:8-9). The Herodian Philips — Herod Philip tetrarch of Iturea (Luke 3:1) and Philip husband of Herodias (Matt 14:3; Mark 6:17) — round out the usage.

1. Philip (proper name) — The Greek proper name Philippos ('horse-lover'), designating at least four individuals in the NT: Philip the apostle from Bethsaida who brought Nathanael to Jesus (John 1:43-48) and mediated for Greek seekers (John 12:21-22); Philip the evangelist, one of the Seven (Acts 6:5), who preached in Samaria and baptized the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:5-39); Philip the tetrarch, son of Herod, who governed Iturea and Trachonitis (Luke 3:1); and Philip the husband of Herodias (Matt 14:3; Mark 6:17). The name's Greek origin — rare among the Twelve — may signal the Hellenized Galilean milieu of Bethsaida. 37×
