Maginild is Germanic in Origin.

Maginild is a rare medieval Germanic feminine name built from the elements magin/megin, “might, strength,” and hild, “battle.” In Old Norse the corresponding forms are magn or megin and hildr, giving the sense “strength in battle” or “mighty in battle.” Medieval documents in Frankish and Saxon regions record Latinized spellings such as Maginildis and Maginhildis, while Norse sources favor Magnhildr.

Usage clustered in the early Middle Ages and later persisted as regional forms; the best-known modern cognate is Norwegian Magnhild, with related spellings Maginhild and Meginhild. Short forms Hild, Hilde, and Hilda occur historically. Though etymologically akin to the broader -hild name family (Brunhild, Mathild/Matilda), Maginild remains distinct through its magin/megin first element. Today it is exceedingly uncommon in the English-speaking world, valued by those seeking an authentic, strong-sounding medieval revival with a clear warrior-virtue meaning.
