Ida Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A female name. this name is found in Old German and is from the root id- (= Old Norse idh ‘labour’). It was brought to England by the Normans, and Ida Countess of Boulogne is mentioned as a tenant-in-chief in Domesday Book. It continued to be used until at least the middle of the 14th C and was revived in the 19th C. The Old English Ida, a man’s name, was from the same root. Ida has been used a good deal in Ireland as an equivalent of the native Ita ‘thirst’.
Ida Domesday Book 1086, Curia Regis Rolls 1199-1212, Feudal Aids 1302, 1346. Yda Curia Regis Rolls 1201.
— The Oxford Dictionary of Christian Names (1947) by E. G. Withycombe
Not from the Mount Ida in Phrygia, nor that in Crete; nor, except perhaps in parts of Ireland and Scotland, from the ancient Ita, ‘thirsty’ in Celtic; but from Editha or perhaps rather the earlier Eaditha, which means ‘rich gift’, though Helena Swan implies that Ida may, somehow, contrast Edana (later, Edna), ‘perfect happiness.’ The name seems to be falling, ever so slightly, from grace.
