Clotilde is in Origin.

Clotilde traces to the Frankish-Germanic Chlothildis/Chrodechildis, built from hlud "fame" and hild "battle," yielding the sense "battle fame" or "famous in battle." The name passed through medieval Latin as Clothildis and into Romance languages as French Clotilde/Clothilde and Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese Clotilde; German forms include Klothilde and Klotilde. English uses Clotilde, Clothilde, and occasionally Clotilda. Diminutives and nicknames include Clo, Tilde, and Hilda.

Its profile was shaped by Saint Clotilde (c. 475-545), the Burgundian queen who encouraged the baptism of Clovis I, aiding the Christianization of the Franks; her cult kept the name current across France and Catholic Europe. It enjoyed periodic revivals, notably in 19th-century France and Italy, and appears among royalty and nobility (e.g., Princess Clotilde of Savoy, Clotilde of France). Related forms include the -hild names such as Mathilde/Matilda and Hilda.
