Persida is Serbian in Origin.
Persida is a feminine given name rooted in the Greek Persis (Περσίς), “Persian woman,” carried into Latin as Persis/Persida and into several European languages. The sense is “woman from Persia” or “belonging to Persia.” The name is tied to early Christian tradition through the New Testament figure Persis, greeted in Romans 16:12, which helped sustain use in ecclesiastical and humanist circles.
Usage clusters in Southeastern and Eastern Europe: in 19th-century Serbia it appears among Orthodox families - famously Princess Persida Nenadović (1813–1873) - and in Romania the name is familiar from Ioan Slavici’s novel Mara, whose heroine Persida is nicknamed Sida. Beyond these areas it remains rare, though it occurs sporadically in Spanish as Pérsida. Related forms and variants include Persis (English), Perside (French/Italian), Persa (South Slavic), and the modern rarity Persia; diminutives include Sida and Persi. Meaning: “Persian woman; from Persia.”
