Chlotilde is French in Origin.

Chlotilde is a historic Germanic feminine name from hlūd “famous” and hild “battle,” giving the meaning “renowned in battle.” The initial Chl- mirrors the early Frankish and Latinized form Chlothildis; in French and most modern usage it became Clotilde or Clothilde, while Italian and Spanish keep Clotilde. Related forms include Chlothilde/Clothilde, Latin Clotildis/Chlothildis, Polish Klotylda, and Hungarian Klotild(a). Short forms such as Clo, Tilde, and Tilda occur in various languages.

The name’s prominence stems from Saint Clotilde, the Burgundian-born queen of the Franks and wife of Clovis I, whose influence on his conversion made the name well known across medieval France and beyond. It saw periodic revivals in Catholic regions and a 19th‑century taste for medieval names, but remains rare in English-speaking countries. Chlotilde today reads as an archaizing, elegant variant preferred by those seeking a storied, continental twist on Clotilde.
