Ysidra is a unique and distinctive given name of Latin origin. It is derived from the Latin word "Isidorus," which means "gift of Isis." Isis was an ancient Egyptian goddess known for her magical powers, wisdom, and fertility.
The name Ysidra has been used throughout history, particularly in Spain where it was popular during the Middle Ages. It was often given to girls born into noble families or those with strong ties to the Catholic Church, as St. Isidore of Seville was a prominent bishop and scholar in the 7th century.
Despite its historical usage, Ysidra remains relatively rare today. Those who bear this name are likely to stand out due to its uniqueness, much like the goddess Isis herself who was renowned for her exceptional qualities.
The name Ysidra appears to have been moderately popular during the early to mid-twentieth century with several peaks in its usage, particularly between 1917 and 1936. However, it became less common after the 1940s, with only a handful of births recorded since then. Overall, there were a total of 97 babies named Ysidra from 1917 to 2004.
