Mærhild Name meanings & History

The name Mærhild is a combination of two Old Norse words, "mær" meaning "maiden" and "hildr" meaning "battle." Therefore, the name can be translated to mean "maiden of battle" or "warrior maiden.". It either means "famous battle" or "maid's battle". This is because the first syllable either comes from the Anglo-Saxon element mære meaning "famous", or it comes from the Ancient Scandinavian element mær meaning "maid"; it's more likely that this name means "famous battle", for there is another Ancient Scandinavian element that this name could derive from that also means "famous" (mærr). The second element undisputedly comes from the name element hild, which means "battle". The name Mærhild is a unique and rare name that is not commonly used in modern times. It would make a great choice for parents who are looking for a strong and powerful name.
