What is the meaning of the name Metylde ?

Metylde is Germanic in Origin.

Metylde is a medieval English spelling of Matilda, from Old High German Mahthild (Latinized Mathildis), built on mahti ‘might, strength’ + hild ‘battle.’ Via Norman French (Mathilde/Matilde) it entered England after 1066 and was commonly Latinized as Matilda in records. Middle English clerks wrote variable forms - Metylde, Metilde, Matild - typical of the era’s orthography. The meaning is ‘strength in battle’ or ‘mighty in battle.’

Borne by queens and saints - Matilda of Flanders, Empress Matilda (also Maud), and the mystic Mechthild of Magdeburg - the name held high medieval prestige, faded, then revived in the 18th–19th centuries. Though Metylde itself is rare today, it appeals to historical or literary sensibilities. Related variants include Matilda, Mathilde, Matilde, Maud/Maude, Mechthild/Mechtild, Matylda (Polish), and Mafalda (Portuguese/Italian). Common diminutives: Tilda, Tilly, Tillie, Tilde, and Mattie.
