Overview

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

Ildico was the last wife of the Hunnic ruler Attila. Her name is probably Germanic, a diminutive form of the noun *hildiz ("battle"), a common element in Germanic female names, and Hildr ("battle") was the name of a Valkyrie. Her name is thus reconstructed as *Hildiko, and it is probably preserved in *Grímhild or *Krēmhild, the name of Ildico's later legendary version.
