Jewish boys are also named Hillel after the famous sage rabbi Hillel, who was known for his kindness. One of his most famous sayings "That which is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor." Hillel was a rabbi at the times of Herod, and it is believed by scholars that "Jesus" was influenced by Hillel's teachings about love for humanity. Also HILLEL is the world famous Jewish youth organization.
Also for Passover we eat a matza sandwich known as Hillel's sandwich because that is how rabbi Hillel used to make it.

Also, although not the name of a person, Hillel is an international nonprofit organization on campus serving Jews (by hosting things to help them be connected to their Judaism even away from home, fighting antisemitism, and generally providing community, among other things). It's probably the largest in that sphere, ahead of Chabad on Campus and a weirdly large number of other initiatives.
