Doctor of Philosophy
The title "Doctor of Philosophy" originated in the 14th century from universities in Europe, where most academic disciplines fell under the umbrella of "philosophy." Over time, the abbreviation "PhD" became popularized to distinguish it from other doctoral degrees. The abbreviation "DPh" is not commonly used because "PhD" has become the standard term for this specific type of doctoral degree.

PhD is an abbreviation for "Doctor of Philosophy" (Philosophiae Doctor).The reason for the name is historical. Most universities used to have only four majors: divinity, law, medicine, and philosophy. All other modern subjects (such as physics, English, math) were part of philosophy, and so most subjects still use PhD as their doctoral degree.To receive a PhD you first must receive a BA or BS degree (4 year undergraduate degree). You then apply for a Master's degree and then apply to be accepted to a PhD program. Some PhD programs combine the Master's and PhD into one.
I have looked it up in several dictionaries. There is no such thing as a Doctor IN Philosphy. Oxford Dictionary, Cambridge Dictionary and Chambers' 20 Century Dictionary all state Ph.D. as Doctor of Philosophy.
