Across the world, هوفمان (Hoffmann , Hoffman , Hofman , and others...) is quite a rare dominantly male, but infrequently female first name. The forename هوفمان 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. Measured by absolute frequency, it most frequently occurs in China, Indonesia, and the United States. Much more frequently, هوفمان is the last name as well as the forename.
هوفمان 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.
