Alternate Spellings

Nida is a feminine title rich in history, originating from Quranic roots. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Call, voice', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

In Quranic culture, names are more than labels; they are prayers. Nida is widely respected for its positive connotations. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Nida comes from the Arabic root n-d-w, meaning "to call." The Quran (3:39) uses this word describing the angels' call to Zakariyya.
