What is the meaning of the name Lada ?

The baby name Lada is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced LAH-dah (IPA: /ˈla.da/).

Lada is Slavic in Origin.

Rooted in the Common Slavic lexeme lad “order, harmony,” Lada is a pan-Slavic feminine name. In folklore and medieval songs, lada also denoted a “beloved” or “spouse,” and the name was later linked to the Slavic goddess of love, beauty, marriage, and spring (whether historical or a Romantic-era reconstruction). These strands give Lada the layered sense of harmony, beauty, and beloved partner.

Used sporadically in earlier records, the name gained modern currency during 19th–20th-century Slavic cultural revivals and is now familiar in Czech, Slovak, Croatian, Serbian, Slovene, Russian, and Ukrainian contexts. It stands alone or serves as a short form of longer names such as Ladislava, Vladislava, and Milada. Spelling and script variants include Lada (Latin), Łada in Polish discussion of the deity, and Лада in Cyrillic. Related names are Ladislava/Ladislav (and Polish Władysława/Władysław), which share the lad element and the idea of bringing order.
