Girl
Elida
As a girl's name, Elida traces back to Greek, where it is understood to mean "Possibly from the Greek place name Elis". It has cooled since its 1940s peak, though it is still chosen today. As things stand now, it is a distinctive, less common pick. Its single strongest year on record was 1946.
