Hildie Origin and Meaning
The name Hildie is a girl's name meaning "battle".
A short form of Hilda, or any name containing the hild or hildr element, from Mathilda to Swanhild and Hildegard. Hildie has never ranked as a stand-alone name, but with names like Birdie, Bonnie, Hattie, and Millie in vogue, perhaps Hildie might appeal to parents wanting something with that same clunky-cute vintage style. Meaning "battle", Hildie was given to 5 girls in the US in 2023. Hilda meanwhile was given to nearly 60 babies in the same year.
