Helga


Helga is a female name, used mainly in Scandinavia, German-speaking countries and the Low Countries. The name was in use in England before the Norman Conquest, but appears to have died out afterwards. It was re-introduced to English-speaking nations in the 20th century from Germany, the Netherlands, and the Nordic countries. Scandinavian male equivalent is Helge, or Helgi. Eastern Slavic names Olga and Oleg are derived from it.
