"Hildafolk" is a play on "huldufólk", or "hidden people". In Iceland, people do not generally have surnames, but if they do it is generally a patronym, or in Hilda's case, a matronym. If Hilda were to be given a surname, it would probably be "Jóhannasdóttir" or "Johannasdottir" or "Johannasdaughter".
