Mathildis is in Origin.

Mathildis is the medieval Latin form of the Old High German Mahthildis, built from maht/mahti “might, strength” and hild “battle,” yielding the sense “mighty in battle” or “strength in combat.” In charters and hagiographies across the Frankish and Saxon realms, the nominative -is ending marks its Latinization, while vernacular forms shortened to Matilda/Mathilde in speech.

The name flourished among European nobility: Saint Mathildis (Matilda) of Ringelheim, the Ottonian queen, and 12th‑century Empress Matilda often appear in records as Mathildis; the mystic Mechthild of Magdeburg reflects the German variant. Related forms include Matilda (English), Mathilde (French, German, Dutch, Scandinavian), Matilde (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), Mechthild/Mechtildis (German), Mahaut/Maud (Old French/medieval English), and the Iberian Mafalda; diminutives Tilda, Tilde, Tilly, Tillie, and Mette. Today Mathildis itself is rare, with Matilda/Mathilde driving the name’s modern revival.
