History & Origin
Birda is a homespun early twentieth-century name, read either as a nature name from bird or as a short form of Alberta or Roberta, both from the Germanic beraht, bright. It appeared for American girls only faintly, around 1918.
It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at most, and it had disappeared by the nineteen-sixties. A girl named Birda then would be a great-grandmother now. It reads today as a tender antique rather than a name coming back.
