Meaning & History
Transferred use of the Spanish surname Almeda.In the English-speaking world, Almeda is as much a borrowing of the Spanish name as it used to be the traditional "translated" form of a Welsh saint's name. Which saint exactly would have been Anglicized as Almeda is debated by modern-day academics: the most popular theory opts for Eluned or Eiliwedd (via its old Latinization Almedha).
