Koliada Origin and Meaning

The name Koliada is a girl's name meaning "winter festival".

Not a traditional name for a person, but this Slavic word has a lyrical, namelike sound. Koliada was an ancient festival that was incorporated into Christmas, and the word lives on in several Slavic languages to denote festive traditions. It possibly derives from a god or goddess of the returning sun, so it could be a name for a midwinter or new year baby.
