Zaida is Arabic in Origin.
Zaida is a feminine given name of Arabic origin, derived from the root z-y-d “to increase,” conveying senses of abundance, growth, and surplus. It is widely viewed as the feminine counterpart to Zayd or Ziyad. Through contact between Arabic and Iberian cultures, the name entered Spanish usage; a notable bearer was Zaida of Seville (late 11th century), a Moorish princess who converted to Christianity and became consort to Alfonso VI of Castile, fixing the name in medieval Iberian chronicles and later literature.
Today, Zaida appears in Spain, Portugal, Latin America, and Arabic-speaking and diasporic communities, with occasional use in English-speaking countries. Variants and spellings include Zayda, Zaidah, and the French-styled Zaïda; related masculine forms are Zayd and Ziyad. Short forms such as Zai or Zaya sometimes occur. Not to be confused with Saida (from Sa‘id, “happy”), which is etymologically distinct.
