Jaida

Meaning of Jaida

Jaida breezes into the baby-name scene like sunlight glinting off a freshly polished gemstone—fitting, since her roots trace back to the cool green stone “jade” and to the Arabic jayda, meaning “good” or “excellent.” She’s the lively cousin of Jade and Jada, but with that jaunty i she feels like a wink in the middle of an old favorite, a little twist that turns heads. American nurseries first heard her name whispered in the late-1970s, yet she really hit her stride in the 2000s, skipping up the popularity charts and peaking around 2009 before settling into a comfy top-1000 perch today. Pop-culture sightings—from reality-TV contestants to fashion influencers—have kept her sparkle polished, and parents love that she offers both gemstone glamour and virtue vibes in one neat package. Pronounced JAY-duh, Jaida is easy on the tongue, bright on the page, and, like the stone that inspired her, promises strength and serenity tucked inside a vibrant sheen.
