Arilde is Scandinavian in Origin.
Arilde is a rare feminine name encountered in Portuguese records, formed as a Romance adaptation of older Germanic material. Many onomasts connect it to Arnhildr (Old Norse/Old High German), composed of arn/aran “eagle” + hildr “battle,” giving the sense “eagle in battle” or “battle‑strong.” Others treat it as a Romance spelling of Arilda, the name of an Anglo‑Saxon virgin martyr venerated in Gloucestershire; if so, the second element is still hild “battle,” while the first is debated (perhaps Old English ār “honor” or Germanic ari/arn “eagle”).
The cult of St Arilda sustained the form in medieval England, but the name stayed rare until antiquarian revivals in the 19th century. In Lusophone countries Arilde appears from the early to mid‑20th century, sometimes alongside masculine Arildo/Arild, and remains uncommon today. Variants and related forms include Arilda, Arildes, and Arildina; masculine counterparts Arild and Arildo; nicknames Ari, Hilda, and Lila.
