What is the meaning of the name Edie ?

The baby name Edie is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈiːdi/ or /ˈɛdi/ (EE-dee or EH-dee).

Edie is English in Origin.

Edie is an English diminutive formed from Edith, ultimately from Old English Eadgyth (ead 'wealth, prosperity' + gyth 'war, battle'), yielding the meaning 'prosperous in war' or 'rich in battle.' While widely used as a nickname, Edie has also become a standalone given name, especially since the late 20th century.

Edith held strong medieval prestige through Anglo-Saxon royalty and saints, such as Saint Edith of Wilton, and the short form Edie surfaced in the 19th-century vogue for affectionate diminutives, later boosted by cultural figures like Edie Sedgwick, Edie Brickell, and Edie Falco. Variant spellings include Eadie and Edy; related diminutives are Edi and Edye. Edie can also shorten Eden, Edna, or Edwina, and connects to international forms of Edith such as Edit (Hungarian) and Edita (Central and South Slavic, Spanish). Today it carries a vintage-fresh charm: brisk, friendly, and rooted in a name with deep Anglo-Saxon heritage.
