Zhidra

Name Dzidra is a feminine name derived from the ancient Hebrew word "Citri" (Цидра), which translates to "flower" or "beauty". It has deep roots in Jewish traditions and may be connected to the name of the Archangel Citri or other spiritual beings in Jewish mythology, although further research is needed for a precise etymology. While not among the most common names in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Dzidra can be found among families with ties to Israel, Ukraine, Belarus, and other CIS countries, where an active Jewish diaspora exists.
