What does the word childe signify mean?

Answer 1

I found two definitions they both basically mean the same

1.) In the Iron Age; the word "Childe" in feudal times signified the heir of some noble house,

2.) It is an archaic term for a child of noble birth, or a young man of noble birth

Answer 2

"Childe" is an archaic term used in literature to refer to a young nobleman, typically a son of a noble family. It is often associated with romantic or heroic connotations, stemming from its use in medieval and Renaissance poetry.
