In the Limited Edition ICO and Shadow of the Colossus Box Set for PS3, an art book titled 'Shinwa wo Tsumugu' is included. It features some interviews with members of Team ICO and among them is Junichi Hosono, who claims Ueda derived Yorda's name from the character of Hilda in the Toei film, "Horus: Prince of the Sun".
This is somewhat corroborated by the movie's presence on Ueda's shelf, which is shown in this same art book.
Hilda's character traits and arc are very different from that of Yorda, but her dynamic between the valiant Horus and the ice devil Grunwald seemed to serve as a heavy inspiration for ICO's narrative.

Shinwa wo Tsumugu art book - The quote can be found on page 45 of 52 in this PDF, in the section labelled with the number 4. I have attached a picture as well, both in Japanese as there is no official translation:

Ueda's shelf is on page 37 of 52 and 'Horus' can be seen near where the movies stop and the Xbox titles begin.
