Etymology
Hippocrates comes from Greek parts hippo- meaning 'horse' and kratos meaning 'power' or 'rule', the same idea you see in democracy. So the name once meant something like 'horse power', but today Hippocrates is remembered as the famous Greek doctor and father of medicine, and thinking of 'hippo' as in hippopotamus can help you remember it.
