Meaning & Origin
A female given name.
Lida is a girl's baby name with roots in multiple traditions. As a Slavic and German short form of names like Lydia or Adelheid, it suggests 'noble kind' or references the ancient Greek region of Lydia. In Persian, Lida (لیدا) is an independent name meaning 'beautiful' or 'graceful.'
Lida enjoyed use in early 20th-century America and Europe. Its short, clear sound gives it a timeless simplicity that parents looking for something brief and vintage find appealing.
