History & Origin

Allida traces to Alida, a Dutch and German short form of Adelaide from the Germanic 'noble kind.' It surfaces in United States records only around the mid-1940s and vanishes almost as quickly, given to just a handful of girls a year and never more than a couple dozen.

Because it appears in the record for so short a span, a girl named Allida would now be in her late seventies or eighties, part of the wartime generation. It has not revived, though the plainer Alida and the full Adelaide both remain in gentle use.

Did you know? Allida packs the whole of Adelaide into three syllables: it is a short form of that grand old 'noble' name, dressed up with a doubled l.
