Allida is Dutch, Germanic in Origin.
Allida is a rare English respelling of Alida, a Dutch and Scandinavian short form of Adelheid (the source of Adelaide and Alice). Built from the Germanic elements adal “noble” + heid “kind, type,” it conveys the meaning “of noble kind” or simply “noble.” The -ida ending reflects medieval and early modern vernacular shortenings of Adalheidis.
The double-L spelling surfaces sporadically in late 19th–early 20th-century U.S. records, likely influenced by the popularity of Alice and the nickname Allie; it has remained uncommon, lending the name a distinctive, vintage feel. Close variants include Alida, Aleda, Alide, Aleida, and Elida; related cognates are Adelaide, Alice, Alicia, and Alix. Pet forms Lida, Liddy, Allie, and Ali occur in English. In the Low Countries and Scandinavia, Alida peaked circa 1880–1930, with modest modern revivals. Allida preserves that lineage while offering a slightly more ornamental silhouette.
