What is the meaning of the name Naida ?

The baby name Naida is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced NAY-dah (ˈneɪdə),NIE-dah (ˈnaɪdə).

Naida is Greek in Origin.

Naida blends mythic shimmer with liquid etymology. From Greek Náïda/Naiad (Ναϊάς, plural Ναϊάδες), it names a freshwater nymph and derives from naiein, “to flow.” Adopted as a given name in the 19th century during Romantic and Victorian revivals of classical lore, it later resurfaced in the late 20th century as a nature-evoking, international choice.

Variants include Naïda, Náida, and Nayda; related forms are English Naiad and French Naïade (rare as personal names). In Cyrillic it appears as Наида and occurs in parts of Eastern Europe and the Caucasus, sometimes coexisting with - but etymologically distinct from - Nadia. The meaning centers on water, vitality, and graceful movement. Though uncommon, the name travels well across languages and appeals to parents seeking a lyrical, classical reference with modern simplicity.
