Globally, Vidya (Vidya 
, فيديا 
, Видья 
) is a widespread largely female, but seldom male first name. The first name Vidya is characteristic of India, where it is quite a common mostly female, but infrequently masculine name, Mauritius, where it is quite a common feminine name, and United Arab Emirates, where it is quite a rare epicene name. Not in comparison with a country's population, this name is the most popular in India, Indonesia, and the United States. Very seldom, Vidya is the last name as well as the forename.
