All around the world, Хофман (Hoffmann , Hoffman , Hofman , along with others...) is quite a rare largely masculine, but seldom girly given name. The first name Хофман is habitual in Luxembourg, where it is quite a rare boy's name, Zimbabwe, where it is a rare girly name, and Hong Kong, where it is a rare masculine name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in China, Indonesia, and the United States. Predominantly, Хофман is the last name as well as the forename.
Хофман 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.
