Meaning: Verdia is a rare American coinage, most plausibly built on the Latin viridis, 'green' or 'flourishing', the root behind Verda, Verdie and the word verdant. It may simply be an -ia elaboration of Verda. The precise source is uncertain, so the meaning is given with modest confidence.Low

History & Origin
Verdia is an uncommon given name recorded for American girls across the early and mid twentieth century. It most likely draws on Latin viridis, 'green' or 'flourishing', perhaps as an ornamental extension of the plainer Verda.
It never caught on widely, reaching only a couple dozen girls a year around 1948 before fading. A Verdia born then would be of a grandmother's generation now, and the name reads as a home-grown vintage flourish rather than an established classic.
