Hippolyte
About Hippolyte
Hippolyte is the name of an Amazonian princess AND her son, both unfortunate mythical figures. The name Hippolyte, later borne by several saints, is a not an uncommon boys' name in France, but has barely set foot on American soil and is unlikely to do so. It was the middle name of famed French playwright Jean Giraudoux.
Pronounced hip-PAH-lyt.
Editor's take: The name Hippolyte is a boy's name of French origin meaning "releaser of horses".
