That is not correct
Before Mahaut of Savoy, the name was introduced in the Iberian Peninsula by Mahault of Puglia-Calabria (1060-1108), who married the count of Barcelona Ramon Berenguer II in 1078. After the wedding, the name, in the forms Mahaut/Mahalt/Mafalda, was used among Catalan nobility.Your statement would be probably correct if instead of "In the Iberian Peninsula" said "In Portugal".
