What is the meaning of the name Alida ?

The baby name Alida is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced AL-i-da (/ˈælɪdə/),ah-LEE-dah (/ɑːˈliːdə/).

Alida is Germanic in Origin.

Alida is a Dutch and Scandinavian feminine name, a contracted form of Adelheid (English Adelaide), built from the Germanic elements adal “noble” and heid “kind, sort,” hence “of noble kind/lineage.” Medieval Low Countries records show related spellings such as Aleydis and Aleida; the streamlined Alida stabilized in early modern Dutch and spread via trade and migration to Germany, Scandinavia, South Africa, and the Americas. It also appears in Italian families, and in Latvian as Alīda.

Usage rose in the Netherlands around 1880–1930, aligning with a broader revival of old Germanic names, and the form saw modest 20th‑century use in Sweden and Norway. Variants and cognates include Aleida, Aleid, Aletta, Adelheid, Adélaïde/Adelaide, Adelaida, and the related Alice/Alicia. Diminutives and nicknames include Lida, Lidy, Alie, Ali, and Ada, giving the classic name a range of modern, friendly short forms.
