Kidah is in Origin.

Kidah is a rare given name with a Hebrew backbone. In Hebrew, Kidah (קידה) denotes a deep bow or curtsey - a gesture of reverence - derived from the biblical root q-d-h “to bend, bow.” The verb appears in passages describing prostration before a king or the divine, lending the name a tone of respect, humility, and grace. As a personal name it has seen quiet, modern usage in Israel from the late 20th century onward, skewing feminine but essentially unisex.

Beyond Hebrew, Kidah overlaps with Kida: a Japanese surname-turned-given name whose meaning depends on the kanji (for example, “tree field,” “joy field,” or “north field”). That form likely helps explain spelling variants such as Kida, Kidda, Keeda, and Kidahh. Diminutives include Ki, Kiki, and Ida. While uncommon globally, the name’s compact shape and cross-cultural echoes give it a contemporary, cosmopolitan feel anchored by the Hebrew sense of respectful poise.
