During the German attack on Norway in 1940, he participated as an unpaid lieutenant and adjutant in the first battalion of the Rogaland Infantry Regiment No. 8 (IR8). In the fishing dispute between the United Kingdom and Norway before the International Court of Justice in the Hague in 1949, his report on names of fishing grounds was presented to the court as evidence. Hovda received the degree candidatus philologiæ in 1938 and his PhD in 1962. He became a lecturer at Kongsgaard School in Stavanger in 1939 and an assistant professor at the Norwegian Place-Names Archives (Norwegian: Norsk stadnamnarkiv) in 1940.
