Veda is an all-time favorite. Currently it is still a somewhat popular baby girl name, but to a lesser degree than it was in the past. Its usage peaked modestly in 1901 with 0.021% of baby girls being named Veda. It was #419 in rank then. The baby name has experienced a steep drop in popularity since then, and it is of only infrequent use in recent times. In 2018, it ranked at #900 with a usage of 0.016%, but it was nevertheless the most popular among all girl names in its family. Veda was used 11% more than the next ranked name, Vada, in 2018. In the last century Veda has primarily been a baby girl name.
Baby names that sound like Veda include Vada, Vati, Veata, Vedad, Vedee, Vedet, Vedete, Vedett, Vedette, Vedey, Vedi, Vedie, Vete, Vibuti, Vida, Vidi, Vidya, Viet, Vita, and Viti.
