What is the meaning of the name Vida ?

The baby name Vida is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced VEE-dah (English: /ˈviːdə/),VEE-dah (Spanish: /ˈbiða/),VEE-dah (Portuguese: /ˈvidɐ/).

Vida is Latin, Persian, Portuguese, Slavic, Spanish in Origin.

Vida blends several traditions: in Spanish and Portuguese it is the everyday word for “life,” ultimately from Latin vita; across South Slavic languages (notably Slovene and Croatian) it functions as a feminine given name linked to Saint Vitus (Latin Vitus) and the Slavic root vid “sight, vision,” yielding a layered sense of vitality and clear-sightedness. In English use it can also serve as a familiar form of Davida (feminine of David, “beloved”).

It appeared in Anglophone records by the late 19th century and gained visibility through figures such as Australian suffragist Vida Goldstein and American scholar Vida Dutton Scudder; the baseball great Vida Blue shows occasional unisex use. Variants and relatives include Vita (Italian/Latin), Davida/Davita, and the Slavic masculine counterparts Vid and Vitus; nicknames Vi and Vee are common. The name’s simple profile, cross-cultural roots, and life-affirming meaning support its modern revival.
