User Comments about the name Veda


Comment left Nov 22, 2008: "My name is VIDA (in English reed it Veeda)It is also an old Slavic name originating from the male pagan God VID who is the Slavic deity of war, fertility and abundance. Also derived is the verb VIDATI (veedeaty) meaning TO HEEL. It is becoming more commone recently, but I have met only one Vida in my life so far, and I am 30. There is the longer version of the name Vidosava which is older and more common. I have always been in love with it. In Hebrew it means the loved one, in spanish life and so on..."

Comment left Nov 21, 2008: "My daughters name is Vaydah. I loved this name since I was a little girl and saw the movie "My Girl". I wanted her to have a name with meaning and Vaydah means knowledge. Her middle name is Noelle. Vaydah Noelle....knowledge of the birth of Christ. (Noelle means Christmas)" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Sep 04, 2008: "Until now I did not know that anyone at all could be called VEDA. I do hate the name with all my heart-PARENTS BEWARE WHAT YOU NAME YOUR CHILDREN-.My father's ego made him always incline to the extravagant and the "unique" therefore he chose the name Veda for me, luckly it is my middle name,I am from Argentina and I think the name Veda is defenitly not common here AND IT IS NOT consider a beautiful name."
