About the name
The name is a compound word belonging to the Norwegian language. It is made up of the constituents "huldre" (No. Huldre-Hulder-Hulla, Sv. Huldra), the genitive s, and "låt". Therefore, this name could be translated as "Huldra´s song".
In Scandinavian popular tradition, the Huldra is a kind of bewitching and seductive wood sprite. The root of her name makes reference to that which is veiled or hidden, and we could surely state that her place in Scandinavian folklore somehow honours such etymology. Furthermore, she is also known by the Swedish words “skogsrå” (warden of the forest) and “skogsfru” (lady of the forest).
