Étymologie (English)

Name of early female saints, shortened from compound given names beginning with Germanic element Ida-, Idu-. The meaning is debated, possibly cognate with the Old Norse ið (“work”), or related to the goddess Iðunn. Since its revival in the 19th century also used as a diminutive of Adelaide.
