Metilde is Germanic in Origin.
Metilde is a Romance-tinged variant of Matilde/Mathilde, ultimately from Old High German Mahtild/Mahthildis (maht 'might, strength' + hild 'battle'). It carries the meaning 'mighty in battle' or 'strength in combat.' The spelling Metilde appears in Iberian and Italian contexts, where the e in the first syllable reflects Romance phonology and scribal preference; it remains rare but recognizable alongside the broader Matilde/Matilda family.
Born of medieval Germanic nobility names, the form spread across Europe through royal and saintly bearers, notably Saint Matilda of Ringelheim (10th century) and the mystic Mechthild of Magdeburg. After the Norman influx, it flourished in England as Matilda and yielded the short form Maud. Close variants include Matilde (Spanish, Portuguese, Italian), Mathilde (French, German, Nordic), Matilda (English), Mechthild/Mechtilde (German), and Mahaut (Old/Medieval French); Mafalda is a medieval Iberian offshoot. Diminutives and pet forms include Tilde, Tilda, Tila, Tillie, and Maud.
