History
Etymology
Short form of obsolete names beginning with Germanic īd "work", used for both sexes in medieval England. It was revived in the 19th century, partly mistaken for a Greek name, for the Mount Ida of classical mythology.
Two possible origins: * Borrowed from Japanese 井田 (Ida, “rice paddy by the well”). * Matronymic surname from the female given name Ida.
From Ancient Greek Ἴδη (Ídē).
Borrowed from Slovak Ida.
From Sanskrit इडा (iḍā).
