Meaning:One who is gazed at; Iron ruler; Ice battle
Isolde is a German feminine name of Welsh and Celtic origins that is rich with meaning to give baby a mythical, medieval age. A variant spelling of Iseult and Esyllt, this name translates to “one who is gazed at.” To give baby the best of both worlds, Isolde also means “iron ruler” or “ice battle”—a beautiful base for them to hone their leadership strengths. If you’ve got a love for legends, Isolde features in the medieval story of Tristan and Isolde, which describes a tragic love story between an Irish princess and a Cornish knight. If baby wants inspiration to build up their creative spirit, the name Isolde will make for a wonderful blank canvas.
