Mathyldis is in Origin.

Mathyldis is a rare, medievalising spelling of the Germanic Mathildis/Matilda, formed from Old High German maht “might, strength” and hiltja “battle,” meaning “mighty in battle.” The y reflects occasional scribal variability, though Latin documents typically show Mathildis; related medieval German forms include Mechthild/Mechthildis. The name spread widely across the Holy Roman Empire and Norman Europe, supported by royal and saintly bearers such as Saint Matilda of Ringelheim (10th century) and Empress Matilda (also called Maud, 12th century), as well as the mystic Mechthild of Magdeburg.

International variants include Matilda/Mathilda (English, German, Scandinavian), Mathilde (French, Dutch), Matilde (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), Maud and Mahaut (Old French/Norman), Matylda (Polish, Czech), Mechthild (German), and Mafalda (Portuguese, Italian, Spanish). Diminutives range from Tilda, Tilde, and Tillie/Tilly to Maudie and Mattie. Mathyldis itself remains very uncommon today, appealing as a distinctive, archaic twist on the classic Matilda.
