A name that means "visible, beloved (persian); life (spanish)".

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.

Visible in Persian, life in Spanish.

Where Vida stands.

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.
