I’m an African-American woman that bears this name. In the forty-four years of my life, I’ve known only 1 other African-American female who has this name and a number of Hispanic women named Alida...so I thought this name was Spanish in origin.
Also Romanian (you'll find numerous bearers on social media).

I was unaware of this site - how interesting it is! My late mother was born Alida Marianne Dehn in Hamburg in 1927. Her mother Alice wanted a similar but not identical name to herself and so adopted Alida. I am now 60 and have never met anyone with this name - until now: My granddaughter has just been named Philippa Alida so the name is perpetuated.
Alida Marroni is the new keyboard/vocalist for the Victory Records band "1997." She replaced former band member, Kerri Mack. They're a pretty good band, I think. Anyways, I think Alida is a pretty name, and it seems pretty unique.
Italian actress Alida Valli (May 3, 1921-April 22, 2006), who starred in films such as "The Paradine Case" (1947) and "The Third Man" (1949), was a famous bearer of this name.
I am from Argentina. Here, Alida isn't a common name, but I know about 4 or 5 more. The pronunciaton of this name here is with accent in first A. I love my name, really. It's beautiful to me!
