Teobaldo

Teobaldo is the Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian form of a Germanic name composed of the elements theud, meaning people or folk, and bald, meaning bold or brave, giving the overall sense of one who is bold among the people. The name entered the Iberian Peninsula and Italy through medieval Latin transmission of the Frankish and Visigothic naming traditions. A notable historical bearer was Teobaldo I of Navarre, a thirteenth-century king and troubadour poet. Closely related forms include Theobald in English and German, Thibault and Thibaut in French, and Tibaldo in older Italian usage.
