MY PHILP FAMILY TREE
The name PHILP is believed to be of Scottish origin. Records show a Patrick Phylp in England around 1547. In some cases it may be an Englishing of Mackillop or a brief spelling of the name "Phillip." There is a Philp Hall in Crecottie, Scotland. Our known Philp family came from Mylor, Cornwall, England. The name PHILP means LOVER OF HORSES. The Philp Coat of Arms was first granted in Sweden. It is a blue shield on which is a red chevron between a gold fleur-de-lis and a castle tower.
