Zayda is a name with multiple potential roots, most notably as a feminine variation of the Arabic name Zayd, meaning 'to increase' or 'growth.' It is also occasionally linked to the Yiddish word for grandfather, though as a feminine given name, its Arabic and Spanish-influenced usage is more common.
