Lyddia is Greek in Origin.
Lyddia is a modern, rare respelling of Lydia, a name from the Greek Lydia meaning "woman from Lydia," the ancient Anatolian kingdom famed for wealth and purple dye. The name appears in the New Testament (Lydia of Thyatira, a merchant and early convert), which helped carry it through Christian Europe. Classical usage also tied it to refinement and prosperity via Lydian luxury and music.
In English, Lydia gained steady use after the Reformation and was popular in the 18th-19th centuries, echoing in literature such as Austen's Lydia Bennet. Lyddia preserves the same pronunciation (LID-ee-uh) while lending a distinctive double-d look. International variants include Lydia, Lidia (Spanish, Italian, Polish), Lidija (Slavic), Lydie (French, Czech), and Lyda or Lydiah as modern forms; short forms include Lyd, Lyddie, and Dia. Meaning centers on geographic origin, with connotations of elegance and enterprise.
