Hillard
Hillard Origin and Meaning
Hillard is a masculine name of Germanic origin, derived from the Old German elements 'hild' meaning 'battle' and 'hard' meaning 'brave' or 'strong.' This creates a meaning along the lines of 'brave in battle.' Hillard was relatively popular in the United States during the early to mid-20th century but has since become less common, giving it a vintage appeal. It's often associated with rural America and has a dignified, traditional quality. Hillard can be seen as a variation of the more common Hilliard or Hilliard, with the single 'l' spelling creating a more streamlined appearance. The name also has connections to various surnames and place names throughout English-speaking countries.
