Yida is a multicultural given name, most commonly a modern Mandarin choice formed from Yi + Da. Depending on the hanzi, Yi may mean “joy/harmony” (怡), “righteousness” (义), “carefree” (逸), “benefit” (益), “suitable” (宜), “also” (亦), or “hundreds of millions” (亿), while Da is usually 达 “to reach, attain” (or 大 “great”). Combinations like 怡达 or 义达 convey ideas such as “joyful attainment” or “righteous achievement.” The name has been favored in mainland China and the diaspora since the late 20th century for its aspirational tone; it is unisex but can lean masculine depending on characters.

In other traditions, Yida sometimes appears as a transliteration variant of the Yiddish/Slavic feminine names Ita/Yita/Ida, ultimately linked to the Germanic root id “work, deed,” hence “industrious.” Variants and spellings include Yi Da, Yi-da, and Yita; Chinese-character forms include 怡达, 义达, 逸达, 益达, 宜达, 亦达, and 亿达.
