      Variations

      Klotilda, Klotilde, Clotilda
      Klotild is a name with roots in both French and German cultures, derived from the Germanic elements hlud, meaning famous, and hild, meaning battle or warrior. Thus, the name can be interpreted as famous warrior or glorious battle. It carries connotations of strength and valor, making it a notable choice for parents seeking a name with a powerful meaning.

      The name Klotild has historical significance, particularly associated with Saint Clotilde, the queen consort of Clovis I, the first King of the Franks. She played a vital role in the Christianization of the Frankish tribe in the 5th century. Her influence and piety are celebrated in various hagiographies, and she is often credited with the spread of Christianity in Gaul. This historical figure has ensured the name's association with nobility, faith, and cultural transformation throughout history.

      In contemporary times, Klotild remains a relatively uncommon name but can still be found in various forms across cultures. Variants such as Clotilde and Clotilda are more prevalent, especially in French-speaking and some European countries. The name frequently appears in historical contexts, literature, and among individuals seeking names with deep-rooted significance. Although not widely used in modern naming trends, it continues to appeal to those valuing traditional and meaningful names that convey strength and heritage.
