Edwina is English in Origin.
Edwina is the English feminine form of Edwin, from Old English ēad (wealth, prosperity) + wine (friend), meaning “prosperous friend” or “blessed friend.” It sits among the Anglo-Saxon Ead- names that evoke good fortune.
While Edwin is medieval, Edwina entered steady use much later, rising in Britain during the 18th–19th centuries and peaking around the late Victorian and early 20th century; it also appeared in the United States and the Commonwealth. The name gained visibility through Edwina Mountbatten; other bearers include British politician Edwina Currie. Noted variants include Edwinna and the rarer Edwyna or Edvina, with Edwina the dominant spelling, often unchanged across languages. Common short forms are Edie, Eddie, and Winnie. Today it feels vintage yet crisp, distinctive without being obscure.
