<p>Deidra is a feminine name with Celtic origins, considered a variant of Deirdre, a tragic heroine from Irish mythology known for her beauty and sorrowful fate. The name may derive from the Old Irish word 'der-drethar' meaning 'woman of rage' or 'sorrowful one.' Unlike the more traditional Deirdre, Deidra represents a modernized spelling that gained modest popularity in America during the 1960s and 1970s. This variant offers a slightly softer pronunciation while maintaining the mythological connection. Deidra carries an air of distinctiveness while remaining approachable and feminine. Though no longer among the most popular names, it appeals to parents drawn to Celtic heritage but seeking a less common alternative to more familiar Irish names.</p>
