Guida is a unique and uncommon female given name of Italian origin. It derives from the Italian word 'guida', which means 'guide'. This name is often associated with guidance, direction, and leadership. In Italian culture, it may have been traditionally used for girls born into families that highly valued these qualities or had ancestors who were prominent leaders or guides in their communities. Guida is not widely recognized as an international name, giving those named Guida a distinctive identity.
The name Guida peaked in popularity during the early 1920s with a high of 15 births in 1921. It has since declined, with only 5 births recorded in both 1930 and 1931.
