Philippson is a patronymic surname meaning "son of Philipp", coming from 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 prevalent amongst German Jews and Dutch Jews, often shortened back to Phillips.
