As the latest in a lineage of names descending from William, Halma adds a touch of feminine grace to a timeless legacy. Coming from the Old High German Willahelm, Halma means "Will helmet." It also has links to helma, being "helmet," and helmaz, translating to "protection." You can be confident that your little one will always consider safety first! Halma also has a surprising connection to Greek as a 19th-century board game inspired by the Greek word ἅλμα (halma), meaning "jump." Halma's first steps promise to be spirited leaps, backed by their natural cautiousness to safeguard against tumbles!
