It is specified several times (most recently in skyrim) that hjalti is a nord. Yes, he was born in high rock, maybe cause in that time alcaire belonged to skyrim, that part i dont know, but all his early life was spent in skyrim (first battles, training of the thu'um at high hrothgar), and given that hjalti early-beard sounds much like a name with nordic origin, it would seem plausible to think he was in fact a nord.
