This name has some use in the United States, but it's usually pronounced the same way as Alida (uh-LEE-duh). The same thing tends to happen with Freida / Frida.

I first came across this name because there is a character on Orange is the New Black with this name and I've grown quite fond of it.

Literally just stumbled upon this name, but it's really pretty. I love the spelling. I sort of incorrectly pronounced it in my head as Al-ay-da, but I like that pronunciation. Cool name!

My middlen ame is Aleida, which I got from my mother's Dutch grandmother. I have 2 Dutch grandparents, who both pronounce it ah-LAY-duh. Although we live in Sweden, I actually hear it as a-LEY-da. All depends on your own country's language. But the Dutch people I know are very thorough on the LAY part.

The pronunciation key for this name is wrong. The emphasis in Aleida should be on the second syllable; ah-LIE-dah. [noted -ed]

Thus, I think the usage Spanish (Latin American) should probably be added to the entry. [noted -ed]
PS: Also, notice that the Spanish usage of this name is totally unrelated to Aleidy and Leidy. For one, it has got a lot of use prior to the peak of Leidy in the 80's (as in the case of Che Guevara's wife). Besides, the usage graph in Venezuela shows Aleida didn't experience a bump in the 80's, unlike Leidy and Aleidy, and thus their time patterns are very different.
