Marildi is a rare feminine given name most often found in Lusophone and occasionally Italian use. It is best analyzed as a variant of Marilda/Marilde, names that descend from medieval Germanic formations combining mari/mar “renown” with hild “battle.” Under that reading, Marildi conveys the sense of renowned in battle or famous warrior. In Brazil and Portugal, it may also be understood as a modern blend of Maria and Hilda, yielding a parallel interpretation that links beloved or wished-for child with battle.

Documented mainly from the mid-20th century onward, Marildi remains uncommon in records and is seldom encountered in English-speaking countries. Related forms include Marilda and Marilde; short forms such as Mari and Rilda appear in informal use. Cognates sharing the -hild/-ilda element include Hilda and Matilda/Mathilde.
