Hipolito

US Popularity Rank: 26344

Origin: Portuguese

Meaning: Horse; Freer of horses

If you want to encourage baby’s equestrian side, Hipolito can get the job done. This masculine name has Spanish and Portuguese roots, acting as a variant of the Greek moniker Hippolytus. It can translate to “horse” or, more specifically, “freer of horses,” and can be a lovely way to celebrate baby’s wild, liberated side. If you’ve got a love for Greek mythology, Hipolito can also connect baby to Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazons and the daughter of Ares, the Greek god of war. With its majestic tone and fierce, fighting vibes, Hipolito can make for plenty of inspiration.
