Deirdra is a feminine name that represents a variant spelling of the traditional Irish name Deirdre. In Irish mythology, Deirdre was a tragic heroine known as 'Deirdre of the Sorrows,' whose legendary beauty led to a war. The name is thought to derive from Celtic elements meaning 'woman' or possibly 'sorrowful.' Despite its somewhat melancholy origins, Deirdra has a melodic, flowing quality that has attracted parents seeking a name with Celtic heritage. This spelling variation with an 'a' ending softens the name slightly compared to the traditional Deirdre. While never reaching widespread popularity, Deirdra occasionally appears in communities with Irish heritage or among those drawn to names with mythological significance and lyrical pronunciation.
