Filipos

Tagalog

Etymology

    Borrowed from Spanish Filipos, from Filipo +‎ -s (plural suffix). An adaptation of Latin Philippī, from Ancient Greek Φῐ́λῐπποι (Phĭ́lĭppoi, “Philippi”), from nominative/vocative plural of Φῐ́λῐππος (Phĭ́lĭppos). The town was named after Philip II of Macedon. The Ancient Greek plural ending -οι (-oi) was adapted into the Latin plural -i, which was later adapted into the Spanish plural -s.
