Meaning & origin
Virda is a rare American given name that first appeared in Social Security records in 1888. Its usage peaked in 1897, though even then it remained uncommon. The name has never ranked in the top 1,000 and has maintained a stable but extremely low usage over the decades. Its etymology is uncertain, but it may be a variant of Verda, which itself could derive from the Latin viridis, meaning 'green'. Virda was most common in the 1890s, but it did not appear in any state-level top rankings. Today, it is used only occasionally, as parents seek distinctive vintage names or create new spellings. Because the name has no widely known meaning or famous bearers, its appeal comes from its rarity and old-fashioned sound.
Virda is a rare given name that appears in American records from the late 19th century. It may be a variant of Verda, which in turn could be a feminine form of Virgil or derived from the Latin word viridis, meaning 'green'. However, its precise origin is uncertain, and it may have been coined independently or as a creative spelling.
