Hildegard of Bingen is the Latinized name of the medieval German abbess and polymath Hildegard von Bingen (1098–1179). The phrase is used as a formal appellation in academic and historical contexts, often treated as a proper noun; in English, it is pronounced with attention to the Germanic given name and surname, and the Latin‑style ‘of’ linking to the family/territorial surname. The full form is usually encountered in scholarly writing and biographical references.
