Origin of the name Naida

The name Naida has several origins. Many scientists believe that it comes from the Greek word “Ναΐδες” – naiad. In Greek mythology, naiads are nymphs of water sources: lakes, rivers, streams, waterfalls. They were the daughters of Zeus, often accompanied him, as well as other gods embodying the forces of nature: Poseidon, Demeter, Persephone, Diana, Aphrodite. Naiads were depicted as half-naked or naked girls with long hair decorated with flowers and herbs. Naiads did not have immortality and died as soon as the source they patronized dried up. This version echoes the translation of the name Naida from Avar (Dagestan) – “nymph”, “graceful maiden”, “beauty”.

The second version traces the name Naida to the Arabic word “نائدة” – “swaying”, “cunning”. This name is given to a girl so that she develops a flexible, easy-going character.

The third version refers to the name of the ancient Indian goddess Naidi, who was considered the patroness of young animals, early shoots and fertility.

The name Naida is common in both Arab countries and India. In Russia it is not common.
