Virda appeared faintly in American records, mostly around 1921, without a clear parent name. It reads as a period coinage rather than an inherited name.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even at its peak, and it disappeared from use by mid-century. With its origin uncertain, which we note, the name survives mainly as a soft, dated rarity.
Did you know? Names like Verda, Verna, and Virda cluster around the Latin viridis, green and flourishing, though for many families they were simply pleasant-sounding coinages of the day rather than deliberate Latin borrowings.
