Meaning & History
Fidda is an Arabic feminine name meaning "silver". The name derives from the Arabic word for silver, a precious metal associated with purity, clarity, and value in many cultures. In Arabic-speaking regions, names inspired by precious metals and gems have long been popular, especially for girls, reflecting qualities like beauty, rarity, and refinement.
\nFidda is closely related to the variant Fizza, which shares the same meaning and linguistic root. While Fidda remains relatively uncommon globally, it retains cultural significance in the Arab world and among Muslims.
\nNotable Bearers
