Edit

Edit is an anglicized or Germanic form of the Old English name Eadgyth, composed of the elements ead, meaning wealth or fortune, and gyth, meaning war or battle, giving the combined sense of prosperous in battle. The name was common among Anglo-Saxon royalty, most notably Saint Edith of Wilton, a ninth-century English princess venerated as a nun and holy woman. Edit is used primarily in Hungarian and Scandinavian traditions as a variant of the English Edith, keeping the same etymological roots. Related forms include Edith, Edythe, and the Old Norse Eydís.
