History & Origin

Jeyda is the English-friendly spelling of Ceyda, a Turkish girls' name. Turkish sources commonly gloss it as 'beautiful' or 'radiant', though dictionaries do not fully agree, so we present the meaning as traditional rather than certain. Turkish stress typically falls on the final syllable (said 'jay-DUH').

It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S., carried chiefly by Turkish families. Rare, graceful, and distinctive.
