History & Origin
Yilda is a name without a firmly documented origin. It may render Gilda, from a Germanic word for sacrifice, in a Spanish spelling, or echo the Turkish yildiz, star. It appears only rarely in United States records around 1995, given to a couple dozen girls a year at its brief high, without ever becoming common.
A girl named Yilda from the mid-nineties is a young adult now. With its origin uncertain, it reads as a rare, distinctive name of its moment rather than a revival, and it is flagged here as unconfirmed rather than assigned a single meaning.
