Valida
Latin at root, from validus, "strong, healthy". Only about two dozen women in Poland carry it and none were born last year, so most Poles have never met one.

What Valida means
Where Valida comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Valida comes from Latin, from validus, meaning strong and healthy. The same root feeds the verb valere, to be well or to hold force, and it survives in English words such as valid, valiant, and convalesce. A Roman who said vale wished you health as much as farewell.
The name keeps the plain sense of that origin: silna, zdrowa, strong and healthy. It offers no diminutives and no variant forms to lean on. Valida stands on its own.
In a Polish class register, Valida is uncommon enough to make a teacher slow down at the roll. The reader meets Latin straight, without the softening a nickname would bring. What remains is the meaning built into validus: strong, healthy.
