What is the meaning of the name Nida ?

The baby name Nida is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced NEE-dah (English: /ˈniːdə/; Arabic: nidāʼ /nɪˈdaːʔ/).

Nida is Arabic, Bosnian, Turkish, Urdu in Origin.

Nida is an Arabic-derived given name from nidāʾ (نداء), meaning “call,” “voice,” or “summons.” Through Persian and Ottoman Turkish, it spread widely across Muslim-language contexts, including Urdu, Bengali, and Turkish, where it retains the sense of a public call or heartfelt appeal, sometimes evoking the call to prayer in poetic usage. Persian Neda is a close cognate; scholarly transliteration marks the long final vowel as Nidāʾ.

As a personal name, Nida gained steady use in the 20th century and is now common for girls in Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, and Turkey, with occasional unisex use. Spelling variants include Nidaa, Needa, Nedaa, and Neda. The name’s appeal lies in its concise musicality and uplifting meaning of a voice that calls or invites. Note that the Hebrew term niddah, though similar-looking in English, is etymologically unrelated.
