Lidia

Lidia means "Greek, from Lydia (ancient region in Asia Minor)" and comes from Greek, giving it real etymological depth as a girl's name. It is currently on the rise, with its biggest decade yet in the 2000s. As things stand now, it is a distinctive, less common pick. It has quietly persisted through most of the last century of American birth records.
