      Meaning of the first name Klotilda

      Origin

      Germanic

      Meaning

      Famous Battle Maiden or Glory

      Variations

      Clotilda, Klotilde, Klotild
      The name Klotilda has its roots in Germanic languages, derived from elements that convey meanings related to battle and glory. Specifically, it combines components that refer to being renowned or famous (klo) and being a warrior or maiden involved in conflict (tilde). This dual meaning emphasizes a strong and valiant character often associated with heroism and honor.

      Klotilda is perhaps most notably associated with Saint Clotilde, the historical figure who lived in the 5th and 6th centuries. As the queen consort of King Clovis I, she played a significant role in the Christianization of the Frankish people. Her influence during a pivotal period in European history marks her as a person of substantial historical importance. The name has variations and derivatives found across different cultures and languages, often embodying themes of strength and leadership through its historical associations.

      In contemporary contexts, Klotilda is not commonly used but remains a unique choice for those who appreciate its historical and cultural significance. Its rarity lends it an air of distinction, setting it apart from more commonly used names. While its exact popularity may vary by region, there is a gradual resurgence among those interested in vintage or historical names, particularly within certain communities that value traditional roots.
