Taidha is Irish in Origin.

Taidha is a rare Gaelic‑inspired given name, probably a modern feminine elaboration of the Old Irish Tadhg, a classic masculine name meaning “poet,” “bard,” or more broadly “scholar.” The spelling reflects Irish orthography: dh denotes a soft, almost y-like sound, while the final -a gives a feminine feel. Parents drawn to Irish heritage and distinctive sound patterns have adopted Taidha in recent decades, though it remains uncommon.

Across history, Tadhg was borne by numerous medieval Irish chieftains and appears in patronymic forms such as Ní Thaidhg and Ó Taidhg, echoes that underpin contemporary inventions like Taidha. Variant spellings and near-variants include Táidha, Taigha, and Taida; related names are the masculine Tadhg and its Anglicized forms Teague and Tighe, as well as the diminutive Tadhgán, source of modern Teagan. The name’s meaning centers on artistry and learning, often interpreted as “the poet” or “storyteller.”
