ArchivesRe: What is the meaning of Exilda?
in reply to a message by Kara K
Hi there;
My name is Exilda. I was born in North Eastern Quebec. Although I have not met anyone with the Exilda as a first name I have come across 2 people who had it as their middle name. I am not sure of the origin, someone told me it was Spanish.
I have this name because I was very ill when I was born and was not expected to survive. The catholic hospital where I was born had me baptised at the hospital for religious reasons. My mother let the neighbor's child choose my name and Exilda was her second name.

Possibly Exilda is a Spanish variant of Eck[h]ilda, as x in Spanish once represented a hard h sound (IPA |x|) as in "México" before modern spelling reforms.
