Hilma is a female given name that was in occasional use at the turn of the 20th century. The name was made popular by the German poet Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock. The name was used in early 19th century Scandinavian literature, probably as a variant of Wilhelmina. It can also be a variant of the male name Hilmar or Hilmer.
