XPath filter by attribute and return distinct values

Is it possible to specify an xpath selector to filter by attribute and return distinct values?

From the following:

<root>
    <classifications>
        <classification name="Category">Category One</classification>
        <classification name="Sub-Category">Sub-Category One</classification>
    </classifications>
    <classifications>
        <classification name="Category">Category Two</classification>
        <classification name="Sub-Category">Sub-Category One</classification>
    </classifications>
    <classifications>
        <classification name="Category">Category One</classification>
        <classification name="Sub-Category">Sub-Category Two</classification>
    </classifications>
    <classifications>
        <classification name="Category">Category Three</classification>
        <classification name="Sub-Category">Sub-Category One</classification>
    </classifications>
    <classifications>
        <classification name="Category">Category One</classification>
        <classification name="Sub-Category">Sub-Category Two</classification>
    </classifications>
    <classifications>
        <classification name="Category">Category Two</classification>
        <classification name="Sub-Category">Sub-Category One</classification>
    </classifications>
</root>

classifications/classification[@name="Category"] returns:
Category One
Category Two
Category One
Category Three
Category One
Category Two

What I'm after is:
Category One
Category Two
Category Three
