About Aida

Aida is a melodic name largely associated with the title character of the 1871 Verdi opera, an enslaved Ethiopian princess who dies to save her people. In the past, her name was rarely heard outside the Latino community, but in the current time of love for all A-starting girls' names, this could very well change.

Aida did have a period of some U.S. popularity; in 1954, it reached as high as Number 663, but fell off the list in 1976. Aida Turturro played Tony Soprano's sister in The Sopranos.

Arabic families often pronounce it with two syllables — as EYE-dah — rather than three.

Aida is also given to boys.

Pronounced uh-EE-da.

As of October 2026, Aida ranked #6742 in US births in 1986 SSA.
