Edson is Brazilian in Origin.
Edson is an English patronymic given name and surname, derived from “Ed” + -son, with Ed short for Edward, Edmund, Edwin, or Edgar. Meaning: “son of Ed(ward),” by extension “son of the prosperous guardian” from Old English ead “wealth, fortune” + weard “guardian” in Edward. It emerged as a hereditary surname in medieval England and later migrated into use as a first name through the 19th-century British-American fashion for surnames as given names.
Variants include Edison and Eddison; related forms are the Portuguese and Spanish Edson (identical spelling), with nicknames Ed and Eddie. The name gained modern visibility via Brazilian football legend Edson “Pelé” Arantes do Nascimento, helping sustain its popularity in Brazil and other Lusophone countries. In English-speaking regions it remains uncommon but familiar, appreciated for its crisp sound and clear lineage meaning.
