Eddwyna is English in Origin.

Eddwyna is a rare modern respelling of Edwina, the feminine counterpart of the Old English name Edwin. Edwin combines the elements ēad (“wealth, prosperity”) and wine (“friend”), producing the traditional meaning “prosperous friend” or “rich friend.” While the doubled d and inserted y can suggest a Welsh flavor, the name’s roots are firmly Anglo-Saxon, and pronunciation generally mirrors Edwina: ed-WEE-nə (sometimes ed-WINE-ə).

Edwina emerged in the 19th century during the revival of medieval English names, with wider recognition in the 20th century through figures such as Edwina Mountbatten. Usage of Eddwyna itself is very uncommon in records, typically chosen for stylistic distinctiveness rather than separate etymology. Variant spellings and related forms include Edwina, Edwyna, Eddwina, and Edvina/Eduina in some European contexts. Short forms and nicknames include Edie, Eddie, Winnie, and Ena.
