A female given name of Greek origin, or referring to the ancient kingdom in western Asia Minor.
From Greek 'Lydia', referring to the ancient kingdom known for wealth and commerce. The name became popular due to the biblical Lydia, a merchant woman who was among the first European converts to Christianity.
Lydia holds the distinction of being home to the world's first minted coins around 650 BCE, making this ancient kingdom the birthplace of modern monetary systems - quite fitting for a name that means 'from Lydia, the land of commerce'.
