Neda

Go for a factual approach to baby names with this Slavic option. Neda, a girl's name, means "Sunday" in Serbian and Croatian. If you go by the old rhyme, any child born on Sunday will be "bonny and blithe, and good and gay," which is definitely something worth reminding baby of. Neda is also the Persian form of Nida, an Arabic name meaning “call” or “proclaim.” Neda is an Arcadian nymph in Greek mythology who nurtured Zeus as a child. Today, there is a river and a town named after her. Neda could also be a feminine form of Ned, an Old English nickname that means "wealthy guard."
