Birda is a delightfully vintage English name—pronounced BUR-duh (/ˈbɜːdə/ or /ˈbɜrdə/)—that draws its simple charm from the word “bird,” evoking images of gentle songbirds perched on sunlit branches. Though it never soared into the top tiers of popularity (you’ll find only a handful of little Birdas sprinkled through U.S. birth records from the late 19th century into the 1950s), its rarity is part of what makes it so captivating today. Imagined as both whimsical and strong, Birda carries a spirit of freedom and possibility, suggesting a child destined to lift others’ hearts with her bright curiosity. With its natural roots and warm, melodic sound, Birda offers parents a subtly poetic choice—one that feels at once timeless and refreshingly unexpected.
