Kidda is in Origin.

Kidda is a modern, largely English-language given name, likely formed as a playful diminutive of the surname Kidd with the vowel -a often used to soften or feminize names. The surname itself stems from Middle English kidde, “young goat,” originally a nickname for a lively or youthful person; that sense lends the forename a bright, spirited undertone. Usage as a first name is rare but unisex, appearing in recent decades in English-speaking countries, often as a nickname promoted to formal status.

Sound-alike forms occur across languages, though they are etymologically separate: Kida is a Japanese surname often written 木田 (“tree field”) and also a pop-culture given name; in Punjabi colloquial speech, kidda/kiddan is a familiar greeting (“how’s it going?”). Given-name variants include Kidah, while related surnames Kidd and Kydd sometimes underlie the forename. Nicknames include Kid and Kiki.
