Ghayda (Arabic: غيداء, pronounced ghay-DAA) is a feminine Arabic given name derived from the root gh-y-d, which evokes softness, suppleness, and youthful grace. In classical usage, ghaydā’ described a willowy, tender young woman with gentle movements; the name therefore carries senses of delicate, graceful, and coquettishly charming.

As a poetic epithet in pre-Islamic and Abbasid verse, it later became a personal name across the Arab world, especially in the Levant and Gulf. Common transliterations include Ghaida, Ghaidaa, Ghaydaa, and Gheida; less common forms are Gheedah or Ghaidah. Related but distinct is Ghada, which shares the idea of grace but has a separate etymology and imagery. Modern bearers keep the refined, lyrical tone of the word while giving it contemporary appeal, making Ghayda a choice that blends literary heritage with understated elegance.
