Vida
Vida Origin and Meaning
Vida is a multicultural gem, familiar in a number of languages by not overly popular. It featured in the US Top 1000 in the first half of the 20th century, and in recent years, it has seen renewed interest.
As a Spanish, Portuguese, Slovene, and Lithuanian name, Vida is one of several similar life-affirming name choices including Vita and Viva. It was likely this origin that actor Matthew McConaughey and his Portuguese-born wife Camila had in mind when they chose it for their daughter in 2010.
From its Persian roots, the name means "visible", while in Serbia, it comes from the name Vidoslava, the first element meaning "to see, to behold". As a Swedish name, it could come from the Old Norse word for willow, or be a short form for names such as Avilda. Similarly, in English, it might come from Davida.
A notable bearer of the name is Australian suffragette and human rights campainer Vida Goldstein.
