Elaida is a unique and distinctive female given name of Basque origin, derived from the Basque word 'elaia', which means 'beautiful'. It is composed of two elements: 'ela', meaning 'beauty', and '-aida', signifying 'like' or 'resembling'. The name Elaida is thus interpreted as 'beautiful like a songbird'. This melodic etymology adds a lyrical touch to the name, making it particularly appealing for those who appreciate uncommon names with a musical resonance.
