The real name of Saint Philip the Apostle was Philip. He was one of the Twelve Apostles chosen by Jesus in the New Testament.

Yes, Philip the Apostle was indeed from Bethsaida in Galilee. He is often referred to as "Philip of Bethsaida" to distinguish him from the other Philip mentioned in the Bible.

Philip the Apostle should not be confused with Philip the Evangelist.

Philip the Apostle is said to have been crucified upside down in the city of Hierapolis. So like Jesus he died on a cross.
