Hildagard is a high and mighty girl’s name of German origin. Coming from the Old German words hilt and gart, meaning “battle stronghold,” Hildagard is a lovely way to look upon your little one as a tower of strength. Hildagard can also be taken as a fun little twist on the name Hildegard, given great recognition in the mythical world, the mortal world, and even in the Marvel Universe. So if you love the classic, but you're looking for something with a little more character, Hildagard could come in handy!
