Matilda

• German for "warrior" or "strength" or something like that. The little girl in the film The Assassin pretty much sums up this name. It is strong, female without being flowery.
• After Queen Matilda, who attempted to claim the English throne in 1141. It still works as a name after 900 years.

Matilda is made up of Germanic elements meaning "might" and "battle."
