Behind my name
My given name is Hillary, though I prefer Hill.. Derived from the Latin hilaris, "cheerful, merry", which in turn comes from Greek ἵλαος (hilaos), "propitious, gracious".
In the 1990s and first few decades of the twenty-first century, the name was strongly associated in the United States with Hillary Clinton. Its popularity for newborn American girls dropped rapidly during the beginning of her husband's presidency of the United States.
