Hipolito

The name Hipolito originates from Greek. There are two syllables in the word: 'Hippo' meaning 'horses', and 'Lytus' meaning 'destroy'. So the meaning of Hipolito is 'destroyed by horses'. According to legends, there existed a person named Hippolytus who rejected the love of Phaedra, a Cretan princess and Goddess of the moon. This angered the Goddess, who replied by spooking his horses out, causing him to fall under his chariot leading to his death. However, since he maintained purity towards the Goddess, he was resurrected by Asclepius. Hipolito gained peak popularity in 1950 before disappearing in 1959. The name began gaining familiarity once more in 1913 and has been steady in its growth. However, recent years saw a decline in the popularity of the name across the United States. The name variants of Hipolito include Hippolit, Ippolito, and Hippolyte. Some famous people with this name include the 51st president of Russia, (Rafael) Hipólito Mejía; president of Argentina, (Juan) Hipólito del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús Yrigoyen; Brazilian journalist and diplomat, Hipólito José da Costa; Peruvian politician and scientist, (José) Hipólito Unanue; businessman and soldier of Argentina, (Juan) Hipólito Vieytes; Dominican baseball player, Hipólito Antonio Pichardo; and Brazilian painter, Hipólito Boaventura Caron.
