Luís Filipe is a masculine double name, the Portuguese form of the English double name Louis Philip. The primary form of the name is Louis-Philippe in French, and it is now present in several languages, such as Luigi Filippo in Italian, Luis Felipe in Spanish, and Ludwig Philipp in German.

The spelling Luís is also written as Luiz due to the influence of archaic Portuguese, where names were written without standardized rules. Luis (without the accent) is incorrect and archaic, influenced by Castilian, as is the form Felipe, also of Castilian influence; Filipe is the correct form in Portuguese grammar.
