Tilly is ultimately from the Germanic name Mahthilt meaning "strength in battle", from the elements maht "might, strength" and hilt "battle". It's a diminutive of Matilda.

Tilly is adorable and I usually add it as a middle name. It's fun to experiment with it as a first name. Okay, it's not so out of my usual style as some of the others but…
