Edur is Basque in Origin.

Edur is a Basque given name meaning “snow,” from an archaic Basque form edur corresponding to modern elur “snow.” Used mostly as a masculine counterpart to the better-known feminine Edurne, it symbolizes purity, clarity, and the quiet of winter. The name is rarely found outside the Basque Country and Navarre, and remains uncommon even within Spain, where Edurne and the Spanish Nieves have wider recognition.

Edur emerged in given-name use largely through the 20th-century Basque cultural revival and appears in civil registries from the late 1900s onward; medieval attestations are lexical rather than onomastic. Variants and related forms include Edurne (feminine) and Elur (a modern, unisex nature-name based on the standard Basque word). International analogues echo the meaning: Spanish Nieves, Italian and Portuguese Neve, and English Snow (rare as a given name). Not to be confused with Edorta (Basque for Edward) or Eder (“beautiful”).
