Aleida is a first name for girls.

In the SmartGenius ranking, Aleida is #2,645 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Aleida.
While Aleida is not one of the most popular names of all time, it seems to have attracted parents especially more than 50 years ago in the last century. In 1960, the name Aleida reached its highest popularity with #1,872 in our ranking of all female first names. As it is so exquisite, mothers and fathers did not always come up with the idea of naming their daughter Aleida. Perhaps it was because the name was only occasionally in keeping with the spirit of the times - and girls in those decades were given the unusual and beautiful name of Aleida.
