Helmburg u. Old High German, Old Saxon helm 'helmet' + Old High German burg 'castle, city, stronghold'.

The prototheme burg is used in both masculine and feminine names, so absence of any independent information such as Latin inflection or an explicit relational marker, it is impossible to tell the gender of the name.
