Mildrid
Meaning of Mildrid
Pronounced MIL-drid (/mɪlˈdrɪd/), Mildrid derives from the Old English elements mild “gentle” and þryð “strength,” merging compassion with resilience. Its historical resonance is anchored by Saint Mildrēd of Thanet, a seventh-century abbess whose ecclesiastical leadership shaped early medieval England. In the United States, Mildrid appeared only sporadically in early twentieth-century birth records, registering single-digit annual occurrences and hovering around the 600th rank between 1916 and 1923. Though now rare, Mildrid’s understated elegance and echoes of the Latin concept of virtus make it a considered choice for parents seeking a name with deep heritage and classical gravitas.
