Hindu Media WikiWhy is Sita Mata is called Vaidehi? Sita
What was the reason behind this name of her?

No. Vaidhehi वैहदही means one who is born without body that not from the womb of the mother. Ma Sita Ji was found by king Janak when he was ploughing the field. ( There is a story why king Janak was ploughing. Some other time). For that reason Sita Ji also called भु पुत्री BhuPutri, daughter of earth.

You are right, I feel, the name was more connected with the name of kingdom.
