Hedda's married name is Hedda Tesman; Gabler is her maiden name. Ibsen wrote: "My intention in giving it this name was to indicate that Hedda as a personality is to be regarded rather as her father's daughter than her husband's wife." The title character, Hedda, is considered one of the great dramatic roles in theatre.
