Marcela Pagano revealed the striking historical name she chose for her second child.

The origin of Hipólito dates back to ancient Greece. It comes from the word Hippolytos, formed by the terms hippos (horse) and lyein (to free or to untie). Its meaning is often interpreted as “the one who frees the horses” or “the one who unties the steeds,” an image associated in antiquity with strength, preparation for battle, and leadership.

In Argentina, the name inevitably refers to Hipólito Yrigoyen, twice president of the Nation. His figure was also surrounded by controversies. During his administrations, he faced criticism for exercising a leadership considered excessively personalistic, with a strong concentration of decision-making in his figure and little delegation of functions. His opponents also questioned his reserved and secretive style, which earned him the nickname "El Peludo."

In his second term, which began in 1928, the criticisms deepened due to the economic difficulties arising from the global crisis of 1929. Business sectors, politicians, and parts of the press held him responsible for the lack of effective responses to the rising unemployment, the decline in economic activity, and the growing social unrest.

He was also accused by his adversaries of using public office to strengthen his political structure and favor leaders close to the government. These criticisms were combined with questions related to his advanced age — he was 76 years old when he assumed his second term — and his health status, factors that some considered incompatible with leading the country in a crisis context.
