Golda (גאָלדע) is the Yiddish word for "gold." Golda Meir (1898-1978) — born Golda Mabovitch in Kyiv — was the fourth Prime Minister of Israel (1969-1974) and the first and only female Israeli PM. One of only 24 signatories of the Israeli Declaration of Independence in 1948. Led Israel through the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Time magazine called her "the best man in the government" during her tenure; she famously responded that Moses had told the wandering Jews about the one place in the Middle East without oil.
Subject of countless biographies including Francine Klagsbrun's Lioness (2017).
Golda does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Golda reduce to 3, The Communicator. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
