Eddie is in Origin.

Rooted in Old English, Eddie is the diminutive of a family of "Ead-" names built on ead, meaning wealth, fortune, or prosperity. It most often shortens Edward (ead + weard “guardian”), Edmund (ead + mund “protection”), Edgar (ead + gar “spear”), and Edwin (ead + wine “friend”), and can also contract the feminine Edith or Edwina.

As an independent given name, Eddie appears in the Victorian era and grew widespread through the early to mid-20th century in Britain and the United States, buoyed by the prestige of the royal name Edward and the era’s fondness for -ie nicknames. It is also common in the Netherlands and Scandinavia (from Edvard/Edward), where Eddy and Eddie occur. Variant spellings include Eddy, Eddi, and Edi; related diminutives are Ed, Ned, Ted, and Teddy. Predominantly masculine, Eddie is occasionally unisex, with the core sense evoking prosperity and guardianship.
