A heroic title, Hildi is the shortened form of many honorable names across Scandinavian languages, stemming from Old German and Old Norse roots. From Brunhilda to Hildibergur, Hildegard, and many more—Hildi celebrates those who strive to defend their home. Hildi means “battle” or “fight,” with different endings enriching the intention behind the name. Brunhilda means “ready for battle,” Hildibergur means “the one who saves you in battle,” and Hildegard means “the protector in battle.” All-encompassing Hildi grants baby the freedom to become the hero of their story—a name strengthened by millennias' worth of warrior spirit.
