From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

Dictionary of American Family Names (1956) by Elsdon Coles Smith

Theobald is derived by Camden from Theod, the people, and bald, brave or bold, that is, powerful or bold over the people. B. Rhenanus derives it from Theos, God, and bald—God's power.
