Chlotilda is Germanic in Origin.
Chlotilda is a rare variant of the Germanic name better known as Clotilde/Clothilde, built from hlūd “famous” and hild “battle.” The earliest Frankish form appears as Chlothildis or Chrodechildis in Latin sources, showing the old “Chl-” cluster also seen in Chlodovech (later Louis). As a spelling, Chlotilda blends the German Chlothilde with the -ilda ending found in many medieval records. The meaning is commonly rendered “renowned in battle.”
The name’s prominence stems from Queen Saint Clotilde (c. 470–545), the Burgundian princess who married King Clovis I and helped spur the Franks’ conversion to Christianity, ensuring lasting medieval devotion to her name. Usage spread across Romance lands and resurfaced in the 19th-century historicist revival. Notable variants include Clotilde, Clotilda, Clothilde, Chlothilde, and Clotildis; forms abroad: Italian/Spanish/Portuguese Clotilde, German Chlothilde, Hungarian Klotild, Polish Klotylda, Czech/Slovak Klotylda. Nicknames include Clo, Tilda, and Tilde.
