Worldwide, Hippolyte (Hippolyte , Ипполит , Hippolytus ) is quite a common principally masculine, but scarcely feminine given name. The forename Hippolyte is characteristic of Martinique, where it is quite a common girly name, Cameroon, where it is quite a rare predominantly masculine, but very infrequently feminine name, and France, where it is quite a rare boy's name. Measured by absolute frequency, it is commonest in Cameroon, France, and Ethiopia. Very seldom, Hippolyte is the last name as well as the forename.
