Philippson is a patronymic surname meaning "son of Philipp", the German language given name variant of "Philip", both derived from "philippos", of Ancient Greek origin (prefix "philein", meaning "to love"; suffix "hippos", meaning "horses"; combined, becoming "lover of horses").

"Philipp" evolved into "Philippson", a German surname especially prevalant amongst German Jews. "Phillip" evolved into "Phillipson", an English and Welsh surname, the first English historical record found in Berwickshire. Various other spellings evolved as well.
