Edytha

Edytha is an English given name derived from 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 royal saint of England. Edytha represents a Latinized spelling variant of the same root that produced the more common modern forms Edith and Editha.
