Maiden or young girl
Derived from the Old English word 'mægden', it literally translates to maiden or young woman. It was used as a given name in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often as a more formal alternative to May or a short form of Magdalena. In some contexts, it is also associated with the city of Maida in Italy.
About 43 girls were named Maida in 2025.
