Mattildur Origin and Meaning

Mattildur is a feminine name likely of Icelandic or Norse origin. It appears to be a regional variant of Matilda, which derives from Germanic elements meaning 'strength in battle.' The distinctive ending '-ur' is characteristic of Icelandic feminine names, reflecting the language's grammatical patterns. Outside Iceland and Nordic countries, Mattildur is extremely rare, giving it a strong cultural specificity. The name carries the same historical weight as Matilda, a name borne by several medieval queens and nobility, but with a distinctive Norse flavor.
