🇺🇸 Hillard
/HIL · erd/
Meaning
“Possibly hill enclosure or battle stronghold”
English surname, occasionally used as a first name, most likely a variant of Hilliard. Hilliard has been explained as a topographic name for someone living 'at the hill-yard' (hill enclosure), or as coming from the medieval personal name Hildiard/Hildyard, a form of the Germanic Hildegard, from 'hilt' (strife, battle) and 'gard' (enclosure, yard). The two explanations point to related but not identical origins, so the etymology is disputed.
