Edik

Edik is an Armenian masculine given name functioning as a diminutive or familiar form of Eduard, itself derived from the Old English name Eadweard, composed of the elements ead, meaning wealth or fortune, and weard, meaning guard or protector. The name entered Armenian usage through Russian and broader European cultural influence, where Eduard and its pet forms became widely adopted. Edik enjoyed particular popularity in Soviet-era Armenia, often serving as an everyday spoken form alongside the more formal Eduard. Related forms include Ed, Eddie, and Edvard.
