原The name doesn't mean "friend, lover of strength," etc. The original form is Filumena, suggesting the of the word "lumena," or light. Also lumena means lamp, lantern, light of day, the eye, clearness, understanding. The name exclusively originates from the "obscure saint of the 1st century," as the description of this name indicates. It was a name invented by the Saint's parents, who were Greek, and who originally named her "Lumena" and then, at her baptism, had her name registered as "Filumena." "Filia" meaning daughter in Latin, so "daughter of light." I've submitted corrections and resources to Behind The Name.
Philomena wasn't dropped from the Church in 1961. She wasn't listed on the martyrology, but that didn't mean that the Church didn't concede she was a martyr and a saint. Five Popes were devotees of her and approved her devotion and several Saints were devoted to her as well. Her archconfraturnity still exists, her shrine in Mugnano, Italy, still exists (I've been there, it's very beautiful), her feast day was moved, etc. Information from philomena.org and philomena.us
That said, this is MY name and I like it a lot. Most people find it very exotic (in the US) and also don't know how to pronounce it (I have the French spelling), which opens up a lot of interesting conversations about etymology. It also makes me memorable. I like the variety of nicknames that can be derived from it, as well; they are either very cool, or very cute, and there is a large variety of them that can be made up. People have been very inventive. All in all, as someone who has this name, I can say, it has been a good experience.

什么好的名字Philomena，强大和女性。
原What a nice name Philomena is, strong and feminine.
原This is my mothers name. She doesn't like it much, therefor I guess it's put me off it. Thankfully names are not carried on down the way they used to be years ago so I've avoided passing it onto my children! It is normally a nun's name I would have thought!

这是公主Celestia的宠物凤凰的名字，从“我的小马：友谊是魔术”。
原This is the name of Princess Celestia's pet phoenix from the show, "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic".
原This name has also been used in The Netherlands, in this spelling (not just Filomena was used here). I should know, since this was the first name of my (Dutch) great-greatgrandmother.
Philomena is quite old-fashioned here, however, so one can consider it a rare name on those born in The Netherlands after 1980.

译 这个名字并不意味着“朋友，力量爱好者”等。原来的形式是Filumena，暗示着“lumena”这个词或者光。还有lumena意味灯，灯笼，天的光，眼睛，清晰，理解。这个名字只来源于“1世纪的晦涩的圣人”，正如这个名字的描述所示。这是一个由圣的父母发明的名字，他是希腊人，最初命名为她的“卢米纳”，然后，在她的洗礼，她的名字注册为“Filumena”。 “菲利亚”的意思是女儿在拉丁语，所以“女儿的光”。我已经将修正和资源提交给姓名后面。\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Philomena在1961年没有从教会中删除。她没有在martyrology上被列出，但这并不意味着教会没有承认她是一个烈士和一个圣人。五个教皇是她的奉献者，并批准她的奉献和一些圣徒也献给她。她的建筑仍然存在，她在意大利Mugnano的神殿仍然存在（我在那里，它很漂亮），她的宴会的一天被移动等。从philomena.org和philomena.us的信息\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e说，这是我的名字，我很喜欢它。大多数人发现它非常异国（在美国），也不知道如何发音（我有法语拼写），这打开了很多有趣的谈话关于词源。这也让我难忘。我喜欢可以从它衍生的各种昵称，以及;他们是非常酷，或非常可爱，有各种各样的，它们可以组成。人们一直很有创造力。总而言之，作为有这个名字的人，我可以说，这是一个很好的经验。
