About Hippolyte
The queen of the Amazons in Greek legend, daughter of Ares. Hippolyte was killed by Herakles in order to obtain her magic girdle. In a confusing twist, Hippolyte is also the name of her son.
Hippolyte for boys
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.
