Globally, הופמן (Hoffmann , Hoffman , Hofmann ) is quite a rare largely masculine, but seldom girly first name. The first name הופמן is habitual in Luxembourg, where it is quite a rare boy's name, Zimbabwe, where it is a rare female name, and Hong Kong, where it is a rare masculine name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in China, the United States, and Germany. Much more prevalently, הופמן is the last name as well as the forename.
הופמן 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.
