Thinking about the name
Vaida
Lithuanian origin
“Derived from Lithuanian and Slavic roots, Vaida carries a lyrical, understated elegance. The name may relate to old Balto-Slavic words suggesting knowledge or wisdom, though it reads more as a modern Nordic-inflected choice. Its brevity and soft vowel endings give it a contemporary feel while maintaining cultural depth.”
