Hipolit is a name of ancient Greek origin, derived from ‘hippolytos’ meaning ‘horse releaser’. It gained prominence through Greek mythology and early Christian saints, spreading through Europe, particularly Poland and Croatia. Today, it’s exceptionally rare in the United States, largely confined to heritage families. The name is overwhelmingly masculine, carrying a mood of dignified strength and quiet contemplation.
