Where did the Italian Defilippis family come from? What is the Italian Defilippis family crest and coat of arms? When did the Defilippis family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Defilippis family history?

The Italian surname Defilippis is a patronymic name created from the first name of a male ancestor. As a first name, it is derived from the Latin "Philippus," which is in turn derived from the Greek "Philipp•s." This name is composed of the element "philos" which means "friend," and "hippos," meaning "horse." Thus the surname literally means "son of one who is a lover of horses." This name became common throughout Europe due to several saints and monarchs who bore the name.
