Heda

A sweet feminine name found throughout Scandinavian languages, Heda’s origins go back to the Old High German Haduwig. Don’t let Heda’s soft and lighthearted chime fool you; this charming two-syllabic name comes with an elevated warrior spirit. Considered a short form of Hedwig, Heda means “battle” or “fight” from the first element of the name, haþuz. Hedwig and Haduwig translate to “worthy for battle,” lending Heda a jump-start in life’s great adventure.
