variants of Hildegard
I'm looking for variants of the name Hildegard or names with similar meanings from other languages. Alternatively variants of Hilde/Hilda are fine as well (apart from those listed on the site here already).
Thanks a lot :)

A Dutch pet form of Hilde (and other names starting with Hild-) is Hieke (HEE-ku).
In French, you have Hildegarde.
Hard to find any. I guessed that probably there should be Hildegart, and a Search with Google confirmed that this is indeed a form used in Spanish.
Same with Hildegarda: This can be found in Spanish, and in Portuguese as well.
One other possible alteration, given what is usual in German, would be Hildgard. This also gives plenty of hits in Google, but here I am not sure whether that is a genuine name, or just hundreds of people publishing something on the Internet and not knowing how to correctly write the name Hildegard... Would'nt be the first time :)
