Meaning & Origin
A surname.
Vida is a girl's and boy's baby name of Spanish origin, from the Spanish and Portuguese vida meaning "life" — one of the most direct and universal name meanings in any language. It is also a short form of names like Davida or Avida in other traditions.
Vida has a warm, Latin vitality that has been attracting parents drawn to short, meaningful word names. Its connection to life itself — in the Spanish vida loca tradition of vibrant living — gives it an energetic, life-embracing quality that few names can match in just four letters.
