Why did Hodor only say Hodor?
That wasn’t his given name. Born Wylis, the servant to House Stark only became ‘Hodor’ after suffering a life-changing seizure in his youth. That event damaged his brain and took away his power of speech, leaving him only able to say the one word that would become his name.

What happened to Hodor on ‘Game of Thrones’?
Hodor, as he’s wont to do in dangerous situations, sits in the corner holding himself saying “Hodor” over and over again. Meera and the Children fight the undead, but they need to flee or else they’ll be slaughtered. So Meera screams at Bran that they need Hodor, and Bran wargs into him, taking control as he’d done a few times in the past.
How did Hodor get out of the cave?
So Hodor, controlled by Bran, escapes from the cave with Bran and Meera, but the tide of undead requires that Hodor personally bar the door to the cave while Meera drags Bran away. Meera yells, “Hold the door!” at Hodor repeatedly — and with Bran still in the dream, Meera’s command is passing into the past.
How did Hodor get his nickname?
So it’s not merely a coincidence that Bran traveled back to the moment when Hodor became Hodor, unable to say anything other than what would become his nickname. Bran actually caused it, unwittingly. He also set Hodor on his lifelong path to that moment in the present, where he died saving Bran and Meera.
What does Meera yell at Hodor in the dream?
