What is the origin of Ida?

Ida has its origins in the Germanic language. It is used largely in Dutch, English, German, Indian, Italian, Portuguese, Scandinavian, and Spanish. The name is of obscure or multiple origins; it could be derived via Norman French from the Germanic id ('labor, work') or itis ('woman, virgin'), or else it could be from the short form of olden names with the element 'Ida-' such as Idaburga. The first name could also be from the name of the goddess Iduna in Norse mythology, or from the name of Mount Ida of Crete, known in Greek mythology as the place where Zeus was brought up. In Ireland, the name is sometimes taken as the Anglicized form of the Gaelic Ita or Ide, which is from the element 'ita' meaning 'thirsty'. The name was brought by the Normans into England in the 11th century, but it fell into disuse by the 15th century. It saw a revival in the 19th century, promoted by its appearance in the Lord Tennyson narrative poem The Princess (1847) and the Sullivan and Gilbert comic opera Princess Ida (1884).
