Yes that's what I said:  congregation, or (female) witness - or testimony

I read too quickly and didn't see that the poster had written Aidya.

Is there such a word - Aidya - which would probably mean G-d's 
witness - or was it a typo?

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".
