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

The Italian surname Defilippo 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.
