Klotild
Klotild Origin and Meaning
Klotild is a feminine name with Germanic roots, being a variant of Clotilde or Clothilde. The name combines the Germanic elements 'hlud' meaning 'famous' or 'renowned' and 'hild' meaning 'battle' or 'warfare,' creating the meaning 'famous in battle' or 'renowned warrior.' Historically, the name gained significance through Saint Clotilde, a 6th-century Burgundian queen who influenced her husband Clovis I to convert to Christianity. Klotild has remained in use primarily in Central European countries, particularly Hungary, where it has royal associations through Archduchess Klotild of Austria. While not commonly used in English-speaking countries, the name carries an air of nobility and historical gravitas, appealing to those seeking names with traditional European heritage.
