What Imeda means
Where Imeda comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Imeda traces back to Georgian, to the word imedi, which means hope. The name holds that one meaning and little else. By the plain sense of the word, a person named Imeda holds nadzieja.
Hope is a strange thing to name a child. It points forward, never back. The Georgian imedi belongs to everyday speech, the word you reach for when you wait for news or count on someone. A name built from it stays close to that ground. In Georgia the name is given to men, and a footballer, Imeda Ashortia, has worn it.
In a Polish class register, Imeda would read as unusual. There is no name-day fixed for it in the calendar, and no diminutive worn smooth by habit. The name stands as it arrived, short and whole. Its meaning holds across the border. Imeda means hope, imedi, nadzieja.
