Nerida

Nerida is quite an unusual yet beautiful name usually used for females that has its root in the ancient Greek language. The meaning of Nerida is ‘sea nymph’. There are also various interpretations of this name in other languages, such as in Australian English, Nerida refers to the pink water lily. Although it has been used in various Australian provinces since 1940-1950, the actual popularity of this name started in 1980. It has not yet been listed on any popularity charts for baby names, like most other Greek words or names. In Greek mythology, Nereids were the deities of the sea, also sometimes referred to as mermaids. Nerida, in particular, was the daughter of the sea God Nereus, who was known for his wisdom, and ability to transform his shape. Nereus was the son of Gaea, the Earth Goddess, and Pontus. He was also known as the ‘old man of the sea’, as called by the legendary author Homer.
