Edith

Edith comes from the Old English name Eadgyð, composed of the elements ead, meaning wealth or fortune, and gyð, meaning war or battle. It was a common name among Anglo-Saxon royalty and was borne notably by Saint Edith of Wilton, a tenth-century English princess, as well as by Edith of Mercia and several queens consort. The name survived the Norman Conquest, was revived strongly in the nineteenth century, and spread across northern Europe and beyond. Related forms include the French Édith, famously associated with the singer Édith Piaf, as well as the Scandinavian and Dutch Edith.
