What does Mathilde mean?
Mathilde means “Strength in battle”.
Mathilde is a form of Matilda used in French, German, and several other European languages. Its Germanic elements combine might or strength with battle. The name’s meaning comes from that older compound, while the final e marks a form that has developed differently from English Matilda.
Pronunciation depends on the language: a French Mathilde and a German or Scandinavian Mathilde may not sound exactly alike. That variety is part of the name’s established international life. It can continue a family connection to Matilda while reflecting another language background, and the written relationship remains easy to recognize.
