Phipps Coat of Arms

The surname Phipps has an interesting history, particularly among those of Irish descent. The name is derived from the medieval English given name "Philip" which itself comes from the Greek name "Philippos" meaning "lover of horses." The Phipps surname was first recorded in England in the 13th century, and it gradually spread to Ireland as English settlers arrived. In Ireland, the Phipps name became more prominent during the 17th and 18th centuries when English and Scottish settlers established plantations across the country. Many Phipps families settled in counties such as Waterford, Cork, and Dublin. Over time, these families assimilated into Irish culture while still maintaining their English heritage. The Phipps name in Ireland can also be attributed to the Anglo-Irish Phipps family, who were prominent landowners and politicians. The most notable member of this family was Constantine Phipps, 1st Marquess of Normanby, who served as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in the early 19th century. Today, individuals with the surname Phipps of Irish descent can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world where Irish immigrants settled, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia. The name has continued to be passed down through generations, connecting people to their Irish roots and the rich history associated with the Phipps surname.
