Meaning & origin
Clotile is a rare feminine name that first appeared in U.S. Social Security records in 1900, its peak year. The name has never ranked in the top 1,000 and has seen extremely limited use, with a stable trajectory meaning it has never gained widespread popularity. It is likely a variant of the more familiar Clotilde, a name of Germanic origin introduced to France by the Visigoths. Clotile's scarcity makes it an unusual choice, with no recorded usage in recent decades and no top states associated with it. Parents considering Clotile might also like similar French-inspired names such as Eulalie or Celestine. The name remains a historical curiosity rather than a modern revival.
Clotile is likely a variant of Clotilde, a name brought to France by the Visigoths and popularized by Saint Clotilde, a 6th-century Frankish queen. The name fell out of common use but saw occasional revivals in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
