Aidah Origin and Meaning

The name Aidah is a girl's name.

Aidah is a feminine name with multiple cultural connections. It can be viewed as a variant spelling of Aida, which has origins in Arabic meaning 'returning visitor' or 'reward,' and gained fame through Verdi's opera of the same name. In Hebrew contexts, it relates to Ada, meaning 'ornament' or 'adornment.' The added 'h' gives the name a distinctive appearance while maintaining the melodic pronunciation. Aidah has a graceful, flowing quality that travels well across different cultures. While not among the most common names, it has seen modest usage among parents seeking a name with multicultural appeal, biblical connections, and a touch of uniqueness. Its brevity and vowel-rich composition make it both elegant and accessible.
