If it is Spanish (it doesn't look very Spanish the was it is spelt), I have no idea. If it was German, it might represent the first part of old German names such as FILIBERT ior FILIMAR. This is what I found in a German book on surnames (> Fielmann).

It could be a form of Felipe, or a Spanish form of Felix
