Oleda is an uncommon female given name of Slavic origin, particularly from Russia and other Eastern European countries. It is derived from the Slavic word "oleda," which means "saint." This name has gained some international recognition due to its use by notable figures such as Oleda Jacoby, a Russian-American actress known for her roles in silent films during the 1920s.
The name Oleda experienced notable popularity from 1915 to 1924 with peaks of 20 births in 1920 and consistent numbers ranging from 13 to 15 births annually during this period. After 1928, its popularity significantly declined, with fewer than 12 births per year until the last recorded birth in 1979, totaling 276 births over the span of 68 years.
