Almida is Spanish in Origin.

Almida is a rare feminine name most likely related to Almeda, a given name derived from Spanish alameda, meaning “poplar grove” or “tree‑lined avenue” (from álamo “poplar” + the collective suffix -eda). Its spelling may also be influenced by the Portuguese toponym/surname Almeida, variously explained as stemming from Arabic al-maydān “the plain” or al-maʾida “the table,” a metaphor for a flat-topped plateau. Together these strands give Almida a nature- and place-evoking sense: “grove” or “broad plain.”

Documented in 19th- and early 20th-century records in the United States and across the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking world, Almida appears sporadically, often alongside close forms. Variants and related names include Almeda, Almeta/Almetta (U.S. forms), Almeida (used occasionally as a given name), and Armida (a literary Italian/Spanish counterpart). Short forms Almi, Mida, and Mita are attested. Typical pronunciation is al-MEE-da.
