Mide is Yoruba in Origin.

Mide is a cross-cultural given name with two principal roots. In Yoruba (Nigeria), it functions as a clipped form of longer names ending in -mide, from the verb dé “to arrive.” Thus Ayomide (“my joy has arrived”), Olamide (“wealth has arrived”), Oluwamide (“the Lord has come”), and Ademide (“the crown has arrived”) often shorten to Mide, which keeps the celebratory sense of “has arrived/has come.” Used for all genders, it gained wide currency in late-20th-century Nigeria and among the diaspora.

In Irish, Míde (older spelling Midhe) is linked to the medieval kingdom and province at the center of Ireland, source of the English county name Meath. The word means “middle/central,” and as a given name it appears rarely, usually feminine, in modern Celtic revival usage. Variants include the Irish form Míde and anglicized Mide; related place-derived forms include Meath as a surname.
