Could some one provide the English equivalents of the Dutch given names
Heiltje and Hyltje that were given to two girls in the late 1700's in
the Wayne county Pennsylvania area?
Thank you for your information

An "equivalent" is not inevitably a name with the same meaning rather
than just a similar sounding one. A quick sampling of what is online
suggests that tends to turn both of those into Hilda or sometimes
Helen. Some sources suggest common origins for Heiltje/Hyltje v. Hilda
while others give differing origins.
