Mighty in battle
Originally a diminutive of Matilda, Tilly has emerged as a standalone name. It is derived from the Germanic elements 'maht', meaning might or strength, and 'hild', meaning battle. The name carries a vintage charm that has seen a recent resurgence in the United Kingdom and is now gaining traction in the United States.
