Meaning & origin
Luda is a rare name recorded only once in U.S. Social Security data, in 1882, and has not appeared since. Its rank in that year was not in the top 1000, and the one-in-N ratio is unavailable because no births were recorded in most years. The peak year is also 1882, the only year of occurrence. The trajectory is stable at zero births across all other years. Because there are no top states, the name's geographic usage cannot be determined. Luda likely originated as a Slavic diminutive or variant of names like Ludmila, which have deeper roots in Eastern European naming traditions.
Luda is likely a diminutive or variant of names such as Ludmila (Slavic 'dear to the people') or a feminine form of Lud (possibly from Germanic 'hlud' meaning 'famous'). Its usage in the United States was rare, appearing only in the 1880s according to Social Security data.
