This name might also have been derived from Old Norse "hell" (to conceal, to cover). There are sources that claim that Mother Hulda (a figure from a German fairy tale collected by the Grimm Brothers) is actually [based on] Hel, the goddess of the underworld in Norse mythology.

One of the ugliest old-fashioned names out there. This one makes the very grandmotherly Hilda sound cute, and that's saying something. This might still be the name of some very old women who are either in a wheelchair or walk slowly with a stick and need a hearing aid. People would laugh at a kid having this name.

I totally disagree with slight night shiver! Hulda is a very beautiful name. It really doesn't sound like an old granny who is sitting in a wheelchair. When I hear or read the name Hulda, I can see a young, energetic and determined lady, who really knows what to do next.

Hulda is the heroine of Juhani Tervapää's play "Juurakon Hulda" (translation: Hulda from Juurakko, English name: Farmer's Daughter) (1937). There is also an old Finnish movie made from that play.
