Driada is Greek in Origin.
Driada is a rare feminine given name drawn from the mythological term for a tree nymph. It ultimately comes from Ancient Greek Dryas/Dryad- (from drys, “oak”), later transmitted through Latin and into many European languages as the common noun for a woodland spirit; in several tongues (Spanish, Russian, Polish, Bulgarian) the singular appears as Driada/Dríada. The core meaning evokes an “oak nymph,” and by extension a guardian of trees and forests.
As a personal name, Driada sees sporadic, modern use, chiefly since the late 20th century among lovers of nature-themed and classical myth names in Spain and Latin America, Slavic countries, and international fantasy circles. Variants and cognates include Dríada (Spanish), Driade/Dríade (Italian/Portuguese), Dryade (French, German), Dryad (English), and Dryada/Driada (Russian, Ukrainian, Polish). Short forms include Dria, Ria, Ada, and Dia.
Driada is extremely rare. Across 3 countries, we found just 7 recorded uses of it.
