Re: Matilda, Maude or Maud?
in reply to a message by Tisiphone
Hi !!!
If you check "Matilda" these are the first words of description:
"From the Germanic name Mahthildis meaning "strength in battle", from the elements maht "might, strength" and hild "battle".
Muad was used for males??
Oh no..It looks like so feminine...
But also nowadays?

I have honestly never heard of a male being called Maud - but I've read it used to be. I'd say definitely not in recent times =)
