What is the meaning of the name Edoardo ?

The baby name Edoardo is a Male name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /e.doˈar.do/; respelling: eh-DOH-ar-doh.

Edoardo is Italian in Origin.

Edoardo is the Italian form of Edward, from Old English Eadweard (ēad “wealth, prosperity” + weard “guardian, ward”), meaning “guardian of prosperity” or “wealth protector.” Italian pronunciation eh-doh-AR-doh. International equivalents include Edward (English), Édouard (French), Eduardo and Duarte (Spanish/Portuguese), Eduard (German, Dutch, Catalan, etc.), and Edvard (Nordic/Slavic). Archaic Italian variant Odoardo appears in Renaissance sources; short forms include Edo and Dado; the feminine counterpart is Eduarda.

The name reached the Italian peninsula through Norman and Angevin influence and via the cult of St. Edward the Confessor, fostering its use in Catholic contexts. Odoardo Farnese, Duke of Parma, exemplifies early Italian adoption. The modern spelling Edoardo gained ground in the 19th century and has enjoyed periodic revivals, ranking highly in Italy since the 1990s as parents favor timeless, pan-European choices. Bearers include singer-songwriter Edoardo Bennato and director Edoardo Ponti.
