Nireida

Come rain or shine, on those days when your child simply cannot hold back from splashing in the sea, you'll know you chose well with the name Nireida. This feminine moniker is a variation of the Spanish Nereida and is rooted in the Greek titles Nereides and Nereid. Meaning "sea sprite," "sea nymph," and "daughter of Nereus," Nireida finds its home in Greek mythology in relation to the enchanting Nereides. These goddess-nymphs presided over the bounty of the sea and were considered protectors of sailors and fishermen, coming to their rescue when the ocean was not so forgiving. Infused with the element of water, energy of the sea, and a heroic nature, a name like Nireida will help your magical little one weather any storm.
