What is the meaning of the name Lidia ?

The baby name Lidia is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈlɪdiə/ (LID-ee-ə); also /ˈliːdiə/ (LEE-dee-ə); Spanish/Italian: [ˈli.ða] or [ˈli.dja].

Lidia is Greek in Origin.

Lidia is the Romance and Slavic spelling of Lydia, from Greek Lydia (Λυδία), literally “woman from Lydia,” the ancient region of western Anatolia. The name travelled through Latin into early Christian use; its most famous bearer is Lydia of Thyatira in the New Testament, noted for her hospitality and trade in purple cloth, and as one of the earliest recorded converts in Europe. The spelling Lidia has been long established in Spain, Italy, Poland, Romania, and Russia, and it remained common in Eastern Europe as Lydia dipped in English-speaking countries.

Variants include Lydia (English, German, French), Lídia (Portuguese, Catalan, Hungarian), Lydie (French), Lidija (Croatian, Serbian, Slovenian, Latvian), and Lidiya/Lidiia (Russian, Ukrainian transliterations). Diminutives and short forms: Lida, Lia, Lidka, Lidi. The meaning stays toponymic - “from Lydia” - but by association often carries connotations of hospitality, enterprise, and faith from the biblical figure. Lidia offers a streamlined, international look while preserving classical roots.
