I don't think it's HED-vikh. I think it's just HED-vig because the kh sound is spelled ch in Germany and I dunno, I guess it just seems unlikely that they'd have two.

In some dialects of German, the letter g is pronounced as "kh" at the end of a word. However, generally this name would be pronounced HED-vig.

Hedwig is pronounced as HEDD-vig (no English W-sound, since "W" is pronounced as "V" in German and Scandinavian languages).
