Congregation, or witness

No. "Aida" which actually has an Ayin in the initial position (a non-
silent letter that cannot be pronounced by most English speaking
people) is "congregation" or "populace". It is also happens to be
the word for a female witness. While this may be what the original
poster wanted, it is not what they asked about. They asked about
"Aidya", not "Aida".
