All around the world, Hortense (Hortense 
, Гортензия 
, הורטנס 
) is a common primarily female, but very seldom male first name. The forename Hortense is habitual in Cameroon, where it is quite a common primarily female, but very infrequently male name, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is quite a rare girly name, and Jamaica. In absolute terms, it is the most numerous in Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and France. Much less frequently, Hortense is the last name as well as the forename.
Hortense is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Hortense McDuck , the mother of Donald Duck; Hortense , the fictional character from Louisa May Alcott's Little Women; Hortense the Ostrich , the Disney character, Donald's Ostrich; Hortense , the operatic character in the opera Der Opernball and Hortense , the operatic character in the opera Marietta (Straus), Mariette.
