Around the world, ホフマン (Hoffmann , Hoffman , Hofman , along with others...) is quite a rare largely boy's, but uncommonly girly first name. The first name ホフマン is habitual in Luxembourg, where it is quite a rare masculine name, Zimbabwe, where it is a rare female name, and Hong Kong, where it is a rare male name. In absolute terms, the name is most common in China, Indonesia, and the United States. Much more prevalently, ホフマン is the last name as well as the forename.
ホフマン is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Hoffmann , the operatic character in the opera The Tales of Hoffmann by Jacques Offenbach; a poet; Hoffman Price , the musical character in the musical A Trip to Chinatown; manager of Cliff House and Hoffman Howes , the musical character in the musical The Idea.
