The sun will shine down on baby if you bestow them with the sonorous name Elida. A girl’s name with roots throughout Europe that’s found predominantly in Italy and Scandinavia, Elida has many meanings. Elida may stem from the Ancient Greek Ēlis, signifying “low land,” a region in western Peloponnese, where the Olympic Games were allegedly founded. It might also stem from Helios, the Greek sun god, or Heliodoros, translating to “gift of Helios.” If you want baby to enjoy the finer things in life, Elida is linked to the meaning “nobility” through its connection to the German title Adelaide. While its roots in Old Norse will interest a little speedster with its meaning “fast-sailing ship.” Gifting baby with a sunny disposition amongst all their other great qualities, Elida is a majestic choice.
