Meaning & origin
Quida is a rarity among U.S. birth records, never having entered the top 1000. Its peak year was 1923, when it saw its highest recorded usage, and its trajectory has been stable since then, with no recent revival. The name's first recorded year in U.S. Social Security data is 1914. As an invented or literary variant, Quida carries an air of early 20th-century creativity. It has no strong association with any particular state or region. Its meaning remains opaque, which may appeal to parents seeking a truly unique name.
Quida appears to be a feminine name of uncertain origin, possibly created as a variant of the literary name Ouida (from the pen name of English novelist Maria Louise Ramé). Alternatively, it may be an invented name with no traditional etymology. It was recorded in the early 20th century in the United States, with occasional use peaking in 1923.
