Meaning & History

Medieval English form of Hilarius or Hilaria. In the Middle Ages it was mainly a masculine name. It was revived in early 20th-century Britain as a predominantly feminine name. In the United States, this name and the variant Hillary appeared to decline in popularity after Hillary Clinton (1947-) became first lady in 1993. Notable bearers include American actresses Hilary Swank (1974-) and Hilary Duff (1987-).
