Helga is a Germanic feminine given name, derived from the Old Norse word 'helve', meaning 'war' or 'battle'. It was also used in Scandinavian cultures to refer to a noblewoman or a warrior woman.
In Norse mythology, Helga was the goddess of war and fertility. The name has been associated with strength and courage in various Germanic cultures, while in modern times it is often seen as a strong and feminine alternative to more traditional names.
People named Helga are often perceived as confident, determined, and independent individuals who value their freedom and autonomy. They can be natural leaders and may have a strong sense of justice.
The name Helga remains relatively uncommon in many English-speaking countries but has experienced a recent resurgence in popularity due to its unique sound and cultural heritage.
