Edit

Edit is an English and Scandinavian form of the Old English name Eadgyð, composed of the elements ead, meaning wealth or fortune, and gyð, meaning war or battle. The name was borne by several Anglo-Saxon noblewomen, most notably Saint Edith of Wilton, a ninth-century English princess renowned for her piety. It gained renewed popularity in the Victorian era as part of a broader revival of medieval English names. Closely related forms include Edith, Édith in French, Edyta in Polish, and the Old Norse variant Edda.
