Lofty Theobald may seem uptight, but this masculine name simply couldn’t be more courageous. Theobald derives from the Old High German Dietbald, carrying the meanings “bold people” or “brave people” and “valiant among the people.” Something about Theobald seems to inspire greatness in its bearer, having titled many a saint, reformer, political figure, and revolutionary throughout France, Ireland, Germany, and the UK. If Theobald seems like a lot for daily use, the adorable nickname Theo never disappoints.
