Fedra is a unisex name of Greek origin, derived from the name Phèdre, which means "bright" or "radiant." It was popularized by Jean Racine's tragedy "Phèdre," based on the myth of Phaedra, queen of Crete and wife of King Theseus. In Italian, Fedra is often used as a female given name, while in Spanish, it can be used for both males and females. The name Fedra has also gained popularity in other countries due to its unique sound and association with the ancient Greek myth.
The name Fedra had its peak popularity between 2000 and 2003 with 10 births each year. However, it has since declined, with only 5 or fewer births per year from 2004 onwards. The total number of births over this period is 76.
