Meaning & origin
The name Onedia is a rare and distinctive choice, never having reached the U.S. top 1,000. Its earliest known appearance is 1917, and it saw its peak usage in 1925, the same year it achieved its highest recorded count. The name's trajectory has been stable since the mid-20th century, with very few births per year. Onedia is likely a variant of Oneida, the name of a Native American tribe from the Iroquois Confederacy, and carries a sense of cultural heritage. As a name that has remained consistently uncommon, it offers a unique option for parents seeking something off the beaten path.
Onedia is likely a respelling of Oneida, the name of a Native American tribe of the Iroquois Confederacy. The tribe's name means 'standing rock' or 'people of the stone' in the Iroquoian language. The name was occasionally used as a given name in the United States in the early 20th century, possibly inspired by the Oneida Nation or the place name Oneida, New York.
