Ubaidah is Arabic in Origin.

Ubaidah represents Arabic ʿUbaydah, written عُبَيْدَة, a Classical Arabic personal name built on the Semitic root ʿ-b-d, concerned with service, servitude, and worship. Its base is ʿabd, servant or slave; the internal pattern fuʿayl forms ʿubayd, a diminutive, with the final -ah reflecting the Arabic tāʾ marbūṭah in this name. The literal sense is little servant, often understood religiously as servant or worshiper of God.

Classical Muslim usage is well represented by Abū ʿUbaydah ibn al-Jarrāḥ, a companion of Muhammad, which helped keep the name familiar in Arabic-speaking and wider Muslim communities. In romanization, the initial ʿayn is usually omitted, producing Ubaidah, Ubaydah, Ubaida, Ubayda, Obeidah, or Obaida. The name remains chiefly masculine, though English spellings may obscure its Arabic grammar.
