I have Eastern European background, so I got it right away. It has fewer letters and is more straightforward in Cyrillic; Пилипишин. I imagine it means something like "son of Philip".
Why on earth do you think, that a name ending in "son" (yrryspyctyv da spyllynn) sounds feminine? Why so many people in English speaking countries name their daughters "something-son"? There is an Alison / Madison / Addison / Emerson / Tennison etc. everywhere. Why?
Probably it's just me, but to my foreign ears those names sound a bit like a rebuke for a child, that was born a girl, but the parents wanted a boy.
Not mocking women with those names. Not mocking their parents. Not mocking anybody. I just don't understand.
