    For an odd prime pp, let ϕ\phi denote the quadratic character of the multiplicative group Fp×{\mathbb F}_p^\times, where Fp{\mathbb F}_p is the finite field of pp elements. In this paper, we will obtain evaluations of the hypergeometric functions 2F1(ϕψψϕ;x) {}_2F_1\left(\begin{matrix} \phi\psi & \psi\\ & \phi \end{matrix};x\right), xFpx\in {\mathbb F}_p, x0,1x\neq 0, 1, over Fp{\mathbb F}_p in terms of Hecke character attached to CM elliptic curves for characters ψ\psi of Fp×{\mathbb F}_p^\times of order 33, 44, 66, 88, and 1212
