<p>Helma is a feminine name with Germanic origins, functioning as a diminutive form of names containing the element "helm," meaning "helmet" or "protection." It can be considered a variation of Wilhelmina or a feminine form of Helm or Helmut. Popular primarily in German-speaking countries and the Netherlands, Helma carries a classic European sensibility. The name projects strength and security through its etymological connection to protection. While never reaching widespread popularity in English-speaking countries, it maintains steady usage in Northern European communities. Helma offers a distinctive alternative to more common names like Helene or Helena, combining brevity with substantive meaning and historical roots dating back to medieval Germanic naming traditions.</p>
