Was Hildegarn inspired by Old Norse?

[Desassina]

Hilde is one of several female given names derived from the name Hild formed from Old Norse hildr, meaning "battle".

The female name Hildegard derived from the Old High German words hild (=war or battle) and gard (=protection) and means "battle guard".

Garn auto detects the Norwegian language and it translates back into Yarn on Google Translator. Hilde sounds like Hirude in Japanese from Hirudegarn. The creature changed from his cocoon into a flying creature. Could that be Battle Yarn?

The character's name comes from the movie's co-producer, Seiichi Hiruta.

Reportedly, his jaw dropped when he saw the character design. The sound effect for a "jaw dropping" in Japan is gaan (ガーン), so they named the character "Hiruta gaan" (蛭田ガーン).


However, it could mean "hildr" (Old Norse for "battle") too, which is a cool bonus.

Ah... so it's gaan instead of garn. I didn't know about that story. Thank you! Perhaps it is the battle sound that Hildegan does with the jaw open
