Hilda
Old English name
Hilda is a woman's given name of Germanic origin, from a word meaning battle.
It was common in the early twentieth century, fell out of fashion, and has seen modest revival.
The name carries associations with an older generation: Great-Aunt Hilda left me her china.
Saint Hilda was a seventh-century English abbess.
