What does the name Pippa mean?
Behind the Name calls Pippa a diminutive of Philippa, which Behind the Name calls the Latinate feminine form of Philip, chiefly British as an English name. Wikipedia says Pippa began as a short form and came into greater use as an independent name in the English-speaking world after Robert Browning’s 1841 verse drama Pippa Passes, with its famous lines “God’s in his heaven, all’s right with the world!” The heroine was an innocent Italian girl. So Pippa is a short and sunny name with a poetic origin.
