Origin: Celtic

Meaning: Fair lady; Iron ruler; Ice ruler

Iselda is a girl-given name with meanings just as mythical as the legends it’s inspired by. A variant of the Celtic and Welsh name Iseult, popularized by the star-crossed medieval romance of Tristan and Iseult, the name Iselda means “fair lady.” A little magic might be in Iselda’s midst, too, given its Germanic translations of “iron ruler” and “ice ruler.” There are many directions baby's own fairy tale could go, but with a name like Iselda to take the lead, there’s no doubt destiny will be all theirs to decide.
