Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Meno sa do európskych jazykov rozšírilo z gréckeho Léda (Λήδα), mena postavy gréckej mytológie. Jeho pôvodná etymológia nie je spoľahlivo objasnená: meno sa pokladá za predgrécke a tradične sa spája s lykijským slovom lada vo význame „manželka“, toto spojenie však nie je všeobecne prijaté.
