ArchivesMathilia / Mathilie
Hi there!
I've recently stumbled across the names Mathilia and Mathilie and now I'd love to find out more about them.
I assume they are variants of each other, but I don't know for sure. In any case, they seem to have been in use (mainly) up until the mid (or possibly late) 1800s: I have found Mathilia in French, German, Dutch, Norwegian and American (mostly from Louisiana) geneaologies, Mathilie in French and Norwegian geneaologies.
Both names seem to be all but extinct today, although I did find out that in 2010 there were still about five women in Norway who answered to this name.
So, does anyone happen to have any information regarding this name's origin and meaning?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
