Nilda

Nilda Origin and Meaning

The name Nilda is a girl's name.

Nilda is a feminine name with Germanic and Spanish origins. In Germanic contexts, it evolved as a shortened form of names containing the element '-hild' meaning 'battle' or 'conflict,' such as Brunhilda or Matilda. In Spanish-speaking countries, it gained independent usage and popularity, particularly in Latin America. The name has a gentle yet distinctive sound with its flowing consonants. Nilda enjoyed moderate popularity during the mid-20th century in the United States, particularly among Hispanic communities, but has become less common in recent decades, giving it a vintage quality. The name carries associations with strength beneath its melodic exterior, reflecting its war-related etymological roots. For many families, Nilda serves as a connection to Hispanic heritage while offering a less commonly heard alternative to more ubiquitous Spanish names.
