Golda

גּוֹלְדָּה, גאָלדאַ, גאָלדע

• Gender: Female
• Origin: Yiddish
• Meaning: gold

• Golda is pure Jewish matriarch energy, a Yiddish name meaning "gold" that instantly calls to mind the iron-willed Golda Meir, Israel's first and only female prime minister and the third woman in the world to hold the title. It is an unapologetically heritage-rich choice for parents who want their daughter's name to carry a legacy of strength, warmth, and fearless leadership.

  Grandmother-chic names are making a massive comeback, and this one is riding the wave without ever having needed a revival. It sounds strong and warm in equal measure, aging from an adorable baby name to a formidable adult one without missing a beat. With Helen Mirren's 2023 biopic giving it fresh cultural oxygen, Golda feels poised for a real renaissance.
