Ethelda is a feminine name with Anglo-Saxon origins, derived from Old English elements 'ethel' meaning 'noble' and 'da' likely a shortened form of various Germanic name endings. It carries the connotation of noble strength or noble woman. The name has an antique, almost medieval quality that evokes images of Anglo-Saxon nobility and historical England. Ethelda was occasionally used during the late Victorian era when Anglo-Saxon and Gothic revival led to renewed interest in Old English names. While never widely popular, it offers a distinctive alternative to the more common Ethel or Matilda. The name has a formal, dignified sound while still maintaining feminine qualities. Modern usage remains quite rare, making it an uncommon choice that carries historical gravitas.
