The Hungarian name Ede is a close cognate reflecting the same root.

Used in medieval England as a familiar nickname, the form has occasionally been adopted as an independent given name since the late 19th century, especially in English-speaking and Nordic contexts; in Scandinavia, the doubled d can mark a short e sound in informal spellings. Variants and related forms include Eddie, Eddy, Edd, Ed, Ede, Eddi (Nordic/German), and Ned as a historical byname. Edde is typically masculine. Across its sources, the name carries auspicious connotations of prosperity joined to guardianship, friendship, or protection.
