Hekate is from the Greek Ἑκάτη (Hekatē — worker from afar) — from Greek hekatos (far-shooting/far-working) possibly related to hekaton (hundred). Hekate is one of the Greek feminine names — central to traditional Greek mythological heritage. Greek feminine name reflecting Greek mythological heritage.
Hekate does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Hekate reduce to 5, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
