Avda (given name)
Avda (Russian: А́вда) is an old and rare Russian Christian[1] male first name.[2] It is possibly derived from either the Biblical Hebrew word abdā, meaning (god's) slave, (god's) servant, or the Greek word audē, meaning speech, prophecy.[1]
The patronymics derived from "Avda" are "А́вдич" (Avdich; masculine) and "А́вдична" (Avdichna; feminine).[2]
"Avda" is also a colloquial form of the male first names Avdakt and Avdiky[3] and a diminutive of the male first names Avdey[2] and Avdon.[4]
