This is a very old European name. Clothilde (French), Clotilda (English). I'm not sure of the German spelling. According to "From Aaron to Zoe," it means "loud battle."
I'm a sucker for obscure, medieval names. (I'm a history buff.) So this name appeals to me, but it's definitely an acquired taste.
