Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Etymológia mena nie je spoľahlivo objasnená. Isolde je nemecká podoba stredovekého mena Iseult; podľa germánskej hypotézy súvisí s prvkami īs vo význame ľad alebo železo a hild vo význame boj. Konkurenčná keltská hypotéza ho spája s waleským menom Esyllt a rekonštruovaným britonským základom *adsiltia vo význame tá, na ktorú sa hľadí.
