Oneda is an uncommon and distinctive given name of Native American origin, meaning 'hare' in Choctaw language. It carries a sense of swiftness, grace, and adaptability, reflecting the attributes of its namesake animal.
The name Oneda experienced notable fluctuations in popularity over the years, with peak periods between 1915 and 1923, particularly in 1923 when there were 29 births. The early decades of the century saw more consistent usage, but it fell out of favor thereafter, with only single-digit births recorded annually from 1940 onwards.
