It's pronounced 'NAH-ee-dah' here and it's mostly used by Muslims (which is why it's so popular in Bosnia and Herzegovina). I always thought it had some Arabic or Turkish connection because of this. Turkish TV soaps are very popular here (don't ask, lol) and one of the main characters in one is called Nadida, so maybe that's where people got it from.

My name book lists it as Greek, meaning 'water nymph'.

ETA: I looked it up and it's listed on one website as a Muslim name with an Arabic meaning of pure, pretty. No idea how accurate this is.
