MEANING & HISTORY
What does Elda mean?
Elda is independently documented as an Italian form of Hilda. Hilda developed as a short form of Germanic names containing a battle element.
The exact Elda relationship supplies evidence missing from the brief Cebuano usage entry. It should not be confused with Elder or assigned an old-age meaning from English resemblance.
