Venida is of Latin origin, derived from the word 'venire', meaning 'to come'. It was introduced as a given name by American author Louisa May Alcott in her 1872 novel "Little Women". In the story, Venida is the name of one of the March sisters' imaginary playmates. The name has since been used occasionally, particularly in English-speaking countries. It is pronounced /vəˈnaɪdə/.
Based on these statistics, the name Venida experienced its peak popularity between 1952 and 1954, with 13 births each year during this period. The name's usage was more sporadic before and after this time, with a significant decline in the number of births starting from 1955 onwards.
