Lidija is in Origin.
Lidija is the South Slavic and Baltic form of Lydia, from Greek Λυδία, meaning “woman from Lydia,” the ancient region in western Anatolia. Through the New Testament figure Lydia of Thyatira - an independent dealer in purple cloth and an early convert of Paul - the name traveled across Christian Europe. Lidija has been common in the Balkans (Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Montenegro) and appears across the Baltics (Lithuanian Lidija, Latvian Līdija), with notable 20th‑century use. Here, j is pronounced like y.
Variants include Lydia (English, German, Dutch, Scandinavian), Lidia (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish), Lydie (French, Czech), Lidiya/Lidiia (Russian, Ukrainian; Cyrillic Лидия/Лідія), and Lidija across South Slavic languages; related forms appear in Bulgarian and Belarusian. Common diminutives are Lida, Lidi, and Lidka. The meaning centers on geographic origin - “the Lydian woman” - while the name’s biblical and classical ties give Lidija a dignified, cosmopolitan tone.
