Tiebold Origin and Meaning

The name Tiebold is a boy's name.

Tiebold is a masculine name of Germanic origin, a variant of Theobald, which combines the elements 'theud' meaning 'people' or 'folk' and 'bald' meaning 'bold' or 'brave.' This ancient name was carried by several saints and a Visigothic king. Tiebold represents the medieval spelling variations that evolved across different European regions. While the more common Theobald or its shortened form Thibault have maintained some popularity, particularly in France, Tiebold remains quite rare in modern usage. The name carries connotations of courage, leadership, and nobility, reflecting its historical use among aristocratic families during the Middle Ages.
