Looking for something that’ll brace baby for the battlefield? A name like Heilwig might do for when the fight calls. The gorgeous girl’s name of Swiss origin means “one who remains strong in battle” or “the luck that helps in battle,” and like many other monikers common in Switzerland, it’s also rooted in Old German.
