Matilda

Signification et histoire de Matilda

From the Germanic name Mahthildis meaning "strength in battle", from the elements maht "might, strength" and Hild "battle". Saint Matilda was the wife of the 10th-century German King Henri I the Fowler. The name was brought to England by the Normans, being borne by the wife of Guillaume the Conqueror himself. It was popular until the 15th century in England, usually in the vernacular form Maud. Both forms were revived by the 19th century. This name appears in the popular Australian folk song 'Waltzing Matilda', written in 1895.
