Imelda

Origen y significado de Imelda

Imelda has Germanic origins, going back to Irmhild, from irmin, 'great, universal, strong,' and hild, 'battle': hence 'mighty warrior, great in battle.' The name is linked to Blessed Imelda Lambertini, a young Bolognese girl and patron of children making their first communion. Found in Italy, Spain, Portugal and English-speaking countries, it keeps a noble, old-world tone — less common today but strikingly strong and charming.
