History & Origin

Alzada appears in United States records from around the turn of the twentieth century as an ornate rarity, its sound pointing to the Latin idea of being 'raised up' or 'exalted'. Whether that meaning was intended is uncertain, and the name was always uncommon, given to only a couple dozen girls a year.

A woman named Alzada would belong to a great-grandmother generation, and the flowing three-beat name shares the ornamental air of Almeda and Alzora. Alzie and Zada serve as natural short forms.

Did you know? The Spanish and Latin word alzada that Alzada echoes means 'raised up' or 'exalted', from the verb alzar, 'to lift'.
