Freer of horses
Derived from the Greek name Hippolytos, it combines 'hippos' (horse) and 'lyo' (to loosen or release). In Greek mythology, Hippolytus was the son of Theseus, known for his tragic end involving a chariot. The name has been traditionally used in Spanish and Portuguese speaking cultures.
