What is the meaning or origin of the girl's name Neidra?

[Nobby]

My mother in law would like us to call our baby Neidra if it is a girl, (It was my husbands great grandmothers name).

I am not keen but maybe would be ok as a second name, so long as I know the meaning?

Plenty of people seem to be called it on facebook etc so it cant be that wacky, i've just never heard it before.
