Kida (pronounced KEE-dah) is a modern given name with cross-cultural roots and a strong pop-culture association. In Japanese it is most familiar as a surname, written with characters such as 木田 “tree field” or 喜田 “joyful field,” and is occasionally adopted as a given name. Hebrew kidah (קידה) denotes a deep bow or prostration, a biblical term sometimes reinterpreted as a name. The best-known bearer is Princess Kida (short for Kidagakash) from Disney’s Atlantis: The Lost Empire, which brought the name to wider attention.

Use as a given name was rare in the West until the early 2000s and remains uncommon; it skews feminine due to the film but is unisex. Variant spellings include Kidah, Keeda, and Keida; related look-alikes include Kita and Akida (etymologically separate). Depending on origin, meanings range from “tree field/joyful field” to “bowing.” In Hausa, kida (kiɗa) means “music,” though not a given name.
