Tibald / Theobald / Tybalt / Thibaud / Diepold

Tibald is a medieval Germanic name, a variant of Theobald. It is composed of the Old High German elements *theud* meaning 'people' and *bald* meaning 'bold' or 'brave'. The name was introduced to England by the Normans and was relatively common during the Middle Ages, though it has since become quite rare. Its popularity waned after the medieval period, largely being replaced by its more common variant, Theobald.
