Mighty in battle
Tilda is a short form of Matilda, which originates from the Germanic name Mahthildis. It combines the elements 'maht' (might or strength) and 'hild' (battle), suggesting a powerful and resilient character. While historically a nickname, it has gained independence as a minimalist, chic choice in Europe and the US.
