Vida has parallel origins. In Persian (ویدا), it means "visible" or "clear." In Spanish and Portuguese, it means "life" — from the Latin vita.
Vida Blue (1949-2023) was the American MLB pitcher; Vida Goldstein (1869-1949) was the Australian suffragist.
Vida does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Vida reduce to 9, The Giver. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
