Hi George My mother was known as Tilly all her life. Her birth name was Matilda which she disliked. She was named after my great grandmother, a fact I have only found out in the last couple of months since researching our family tree. Best wishes Leah

Hi George, I found the following meaning under the spellings Tilly and Tillie on babynamenetwork(.)com The mighty battle maiden. I actually know two people with the name!! Maybe short for Tilda ot Matilda as they have the same meanings. Regards Margaret

Often Natalie. I have known several Natalies who use 'Tilly' or 'tillie' - but it could once have been a name in itself. You will have to search using many different versions...spelling vary so much! Good luck, -Kat

Hi Can anyone tell me what the name Tillie is short for? Is it a name in its own right? George
