Meaning & Story
Hilda is a Germanic name from the Old German hild meaning 'battle' or 'war,' making it a warrior name. It is also the name of a popular animated series about a brave young girl who befriends trolls and giants.
Hilda has shed her stodgy reputation entirely and emerged as one of the most vibrant names in the current pet naming landscape. The animated series Hilda has given the name to a fearless, adventurous young girl who befriends creatures others would run from — which is frankly the ideal quality in a pet. A dog named Hilda is brave, curious, not easily fazed by the unfamiliar, and brings wonder to every encounter. Battle maiden to beloved adventurer; what a journey.
