Exilda, derived from the Latin 'Aexilida', is an uncommon yet captivating given name of Latin origin. It is composed of two elements: 'aex' meaning 'sword' and '-lida' which signifies 'war'. Together, they convey a sense of strength and bravery. This name was popular during the Middle Ages in Europe but has since become quite rare, making it a unique choice for those seeking an extraordinary moniker for their child.
The name Exilda was relatively popular at the turn of the 20th century, with a total of 79 recorded births between 1890 and 1924. However, its popularity fluctuated over time, peaking at 8 births in 1892 and again at 7 births in 1903 and 1920. After 1924, there were no further recorded births with the name Exilda until it resurfaced much later in the century.
