About Hjalte
Popular in Denmark back in the 2000s, Hjalte has an ancient feel and knightly air. Deriving from the Old Norse Hjalti, it originally referred to someone from "Hjaltland" (modern day Shetland), though the place name itself could derived from a word referring to the hilt of a sword. As such, the Hjalte is linked to weaponry, and more figuratively, to warriors, fighters, and heroes.
Pronounced HYAHL-tuh.
