Here's a link to a Spanish version of the Bible where Lydia is spelled Lidia:

(Look at the 14th verse: "Entonces una mujer llamada Lidia, vendedora de púrpura, de la ciudad de Tiatira . . .")

On edit: I found the same verse from an Italian Bible. It also uses Lidia: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=51&chapter=16&verse=14&version=34&context=verse (This is Acts 16:14, by the way.)

For the record, I prefer the spelling Lydia, but Lidia is the legitimate Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian form.
