Erida

Erida is derived from Eris, the Greek goddess of discord and strife. In Greek mythology, Eris was often depicted as a malevolent figure, known for instigating conflict and chaos. Her most famous act was throwing the Golden Apple of Discord among the goddesses at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, which ultimately led to the Trojan War.

The name Erida is a less common variant or a poetic form of Eris. While Eris itself is rarely used as a given name due to its negative connotations, Erida might be chosen for its unique sound or as a subtle nod to classical mythology without directly invoking the more infamous goddess. It has seen some very niche usage, often in literary or artistic contexts.
