What is the meaning of the name Eder ?

The baby name Eder is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced EH-der (Basque: /ˈe̞deɾ/; English: /ˈɛdər/; Portuguese Éder: /ˈedɛɾ/).

Eder is Basque in Origin.

Eder is a multicultural masculine name with several roots. In Basque, eder is an adjective meaning “beautiful” or “handsome,” and it has been adopted as a given name there. In Hebrew, ʿēder means “flock” or “herd” and appears in the Bible as both a personal name and in place names (e.g., Migdal Eder, “tower of the flock”). The name also circulates widely in Iberian and Latin American contexts, with Portuguese using the accented form Éder; as a surname, Eder exists in German-speaking regions but is less common as a given name from that source.

Use expanded beyond the Basque Country in the late 20th century, boosted by Brazilian and Hispanic sports figures (e.g., Éder Jofre, Éder Militão). Variants and spellings include Éder, Eder, Edder, and Edher; diminutives like Ed or Eddie may appear in English. Meanings range from “beautiful” (Basque) to “flock, herd” (Hebrew).
