History
Hildigard was the second child of the Old Took and Adamanta Chubb. Hildigard died at a young age.[1]
Etymology
"Hildigard" come from the Germanic roots hild meaning "battle" and gard meaning "protection".[2]
The hobbit's gender is not mentioned (Robert Foster, The Complete Guide to Middle-earth for example treats Hildigard as a male hobbit), however Hildegard is a Germanic female name.
