Flidais is a woman of the wilds in Irish tradition, associated with cattle and deer, and in some tales a mother of children who were skilled in hunting. A story called Táin Bó Flidais describes a cattle raid to win her herd, which was said to give far more milk than any other. She belongs to the group of lesser known figures of the Ulster Cycle, and she has not been used often as a given name.
