First name HOLTA
in reply to a message by Holta
I can't say anything about Albanian names. But if the name is of Germanic origin, I have one for you:Short form of names beginning with the element HULTHA, "mercyful, kind". This could be HOLTBERGA, HOLDAGARD or HULDRADA, just to mention a few. This is taken from:
Ernst Förstemann, Altdeutsche Personennamen (1906)

Only in the southern/upper Germany, where /d/ becomes /t/. There are actually two related words, an adjective (Hold- in English) and a noun (Hyld- [in which y is equivalent to German ü] later Hild-/Held- in English) describing the reciprocal obligations between a lord and a retainer, but also between husband and wife, which encompasses loyalty, kindness, grace etc.. In West Norse however this pair is Holl-/Hyll- (in many dialects the ll is pronounced as in Welsh). In the North then Holta must have another root (e.g. Holt "coppiced wood") or be borrowed from the more southern High German. The Albanian name is more plausibly from High German/Austrian, but could be an unrelated Illyrian name (mandatory during the communist era), or be borrowed from yet another source (few cultures in history use names exclusively or even mostly derived from the local language and most Albanian names before and after the Communist era were either Christian or Muslim religious names—i.e. Greek, Hebrew or Arabic).I will also note that although Holta could be short for a High German name such as Holtberga, as a terminal element -holt is masculine (from the adjective), the feminine terminal element (from the noun) is -huldi (modern German Huld — with Huldi/Hyld/Hyll in the North one would expect Hült in High German, which is why Forstemann posits an original Hulthi-, Gothic hulþs, although that is correctly the equivalent of the adjective holt).

In Albania is used as there is a river called Holta in central Albania. I don’t know the meaning, but this river is in a mountainous region.

Interesting... It could be of Germanic origin. I just found out today, that it is also a farm area in Norway called Holta. Whereas in Albania I am told it is a female first name.Thanx
