Wilda is a feminine name of Old English and Old German origin, meaning “wild,” “uncivilized,” “elf,” or “fairy.” A baby with this down-to-earth name can embrace the freeing nature of her title, running wild as she discovers the beauty of the world in which she lives. Like a willow tree in the breeze, Wilda can go with the flow of life, knowing her family and roots will support her throughout her journey.
