What is the meaning of the name Edwinna ?

The baby name Edwinna is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ed-WIN-ə (IPA: /ɛdˈwɪnə/).

Edwinna is English in Origin.

Edwinna is the feminine counterpart of the Old English name Edwin, built from ēad (“wealth, prosperity”) and wine (“friend”), yielding the sense “prosperous friend” or “rich friend.” While Edwin belongs to early medieval England - most famously King and Saint Edwin of Northumbria - the feminine form emerged much later as part of the 19th‑century revival of Anglo‑Saxon names in the English‑speaking world.

The spelling with double n, Edwinna, is a rare variant of the standard Edwina; it appears in British and especially American records from the early to mid‑20th century, sometimes chosen to cue the pronunciation ed‑WIN‑a rather than ed‑WEE‑na. Related variants include Edwina, Edweena, and Edwena, with cognates like Edvina in some European contexts (as a feminine of Edvin). Common diminutives and nicknames are Edie, Eddie, Winnie, and Ena. The name carries a vintage, gently aristocratic tone.
