Nedya is Slavic in Origin.
Nedya (Bulgarian Недя) is a South Slavic feminine name, a pet form of Nedelya (Неделя), the word for "Sunday" from Common Slavic nedelja. It conveys the sense of Sunday or a child born on Sunday, and also reflects dedication to Saint Kyriaki, venerated in Bulgaria as Sveta Nedelya. Cognates across the region include Serbian/Croatian Nedeljka/Nedjeljka and Slovene Nedelka; closely related forms are Nedelya, Nedelia, and the elaboration Nedelina. Diminutives and short forms include Neda and Nedka alongside Nedya itself.
Used in medieval and revival-era Bulgarian naming under the influence of the church calendar, the name persists regionally and in the diaspora, though it remains uncommon internationally. It is sometimes mistaken for Nadya/Nadiya, a Russian and Ukrainian nickname for Nadezhda meaning "hope," but Nedya has a different root and meaning. Variants: Nedelya, Nedelia, Nedelina; short forms: Neda, Nedka.
