Meaning
Possibly from a Germanic name derived from the element idal, an extended form of id meaning “work, labour” [1]. Unrelated, this was also an epithet of the Greek goddess Aphrodite, given because the city of Idalion on Cyprus was a center of her cult.This name was borne by the heroine of Polish writer Juliusz Słowacki’s play Fantazy (1841, published 1866).
