About Mathilde
Mathilde is even more popular in France than Matilda, a hipster favorite thanks to Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger, is here. And the French pronunciation, while confusing to English speakers, makes it softer and prettier than the version we're more familiar with. It's also very popular in Denmark and Noway, pronounced closer to the English variant.
Pronounced mah-TILD.
As of October 2026, Mathilde ranked #5845 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #431 in 1887.
Editor's take: The name Mathilde is a girl's name of French origin meaning "battle-mighty".
