Altheda is a unique, feminine given name of Latin origin, derived from the Latin word 'altus', meaning 'high' or 'elevated'. It was first used as a female saint's name in the Middle Ages and later popularized by some notable figures in literature, such as Altheda de la Mare, an Italian noblewoman who was portrayed in Boccaccio's 'Decameron'. The name Altheda has been used sparingly throughout history but remains distinctive due to its rare usage and Latin roots.
"Altheda was a popular name for newborns between 1915 and 1924, with peaks in popularity during those years. However, there seems to be a gap in recorded births from 1919 to 1920."
