      English

      Meaning

      People Bold

      Variations

      Balta, Balto, Tobal
      The name Tybalt has its roots in English and is derived from the Old Germanic name Theobald, which means people bold. It first appeared as a given name in medieval England and gained popularity during the Middle Ages. Theobald eventually transformed into various forms, including Tibalt, Tibault, and eventually Tybalt.

      In history, the name Tybalt has made an appearance in several notable works of literature and theater. Shakespeare's famous tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, features a character named Tybalt, who is Juliet's cousin and a fierce, hot-headed antagonist. This portrayal of Tybalt has solidified the name's association with pride, recklessness, and conflict.

      In modern-day usage, the name Tybalt is relatively uncommon but still holds significance due to its literary context. It is occasionally chosen by parents who are fond of Shakespearean names or seek a unique and impactful moniker for their child.
