From the Greek name Φίλιππος (

Christian church known as
Philip the
Deacon.This name was initially more common among Eastern Christians, though it came to the
West by the Middle Ages. It was borne by six kings of
France and five kings of Spain. It was regularly used in England during the Middle Ages, although the Spanish king
Philip II, who attempted an invasion of England, helped make it less common by the 17th century. It was revived in the English-speaking world in the 19th century. Famous bearers include the Elizabethan courtier and poet
Philip Sidney (1554-1586) and the American science fiction novelist
