Baldilo

Baldilo is a masculine given name of Germanic origin, built on the element bald, meaning bold or brave, a root that appears widely in early medieval Germanic naming traditions. The suffix -ilo functions as a diminutive or hypocoristic element common in Old High German and related languages, giving the name an affectionate or familiar quality. Though rare, names of this formation were used among Germanic-speaking peoples during the early medieval period. Related names sharing the bald root include Baldwin, Balthazar in folk etymology, and Baldo.
