Aida
“Possibly from the Arabic 'aida meaning "returning, visiting" or "beneficial", from the root 'aud meaning "to return". Alternatively it may derive from the Old English Aida, a variant of Ada, from the Germanic adal meaning "noble". The name's global spread is largely due to Verdi's 1871 opera, which is set in ancient Egypt.”
