Origin: Welsh

Meaning: fair lady; iron ruler, ice ruler

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