Hildebrand Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A male name. Old German Hildibrand, compound of hildi ‘battle’, ‘strife’, and branda ‘sword’. The name was frequent in German medieval romances, but its general use as a christian name was probably due to St Hildebrand (100085), Pope Gregory VII, one of the greatest of medieval popes. It was not uncommon in England in the 13th and 14th C and gave rise to the surnames Hildebrand, Hildebrant. It has occasionally been revived in modern times.
Hildebrand Curia Regis Rolls 1200. Heudebrand, Odibrand Curia Regis Rolls 1210. Hildebrandus Hundred Rolls 1273. Hildebrondus Feudal Aids 1316.
The same as Old and Middle High German names Hildebrand and Hiltiprant. Mr. Ferguson says Hildebrand was the name of one of the heroes of the Niebelungen Lied, and that the name probably means battle sword; from the Anglo Saxon hild battle, and brand. Others translate it var. ‘very fervent, hero, leader, leader of the Brenni;’ but, as Wachter shows, the name is the same with Childebrand, from child-brand, which might translate either ‘distinguished youth’ or ‘distinguished warrior.’
Teutonic (masculine) - Sword of war. (Hildr - War-goddess.)
A Teutonic name, meaning: Flaming battlemaid.
