Eddwina is English in Origin.

Eddwina is a rare variant of Edwina, the feminine counterpart of the Old English name Edwin, formed from ead "prosperity, riches" and wine "friend." The combined meaning is usually rendered as "prosperous friend" or "wealthy friend," evoking good fortune allied with loyalty. While the masculine Edwin traces to early Anglo-Saxon usage and medieval sainthood, its feminine form emerged later as an English adaptation.

The name entered broader use in Britain during the 18th and 19th centuries, flourishing in the Victorian era; the 20th century visibility of Lady Edwina Mountbatten further anchored the standard spelling. Eddwina, with a double d, occurs sporadically in records as a distinctive or Welsh-tinged respelling, but is typically pronounced like Edwina (ed-WEE-nə). Related forms and diminutives include Edwina, Edwinna, Edvina, Eduina; Edie, Eddie/Eddy, Winnie, and Nina. The masculine counterpart remains Edwin.
