Elvida is an uncommon female given name, of Latin origin. It is derived from the Latin word 'elevare', which means 'to raise'. This name has been used sporadically throughout history, often within families that have maintained a connection to its Latin roots. The name Elvida was likely more prevalent during the medieval period in Europe, but today it is rarely encountered, making it unique and distinctive. The name does not appear to have any specific cultural or regional associations beyond its Latin origin.
The name Elvida experienced sporadic popularity with a notable peak in the mid-1920s, particularly around 1923 and 1924 when it was given to seven newborn girls each year. Despite these peaks, its overall usage remained relatively uncommon throughout the decade, as indicated by the total of 45 births recorded between 1918 and 1936.
