Edytha is English in Origin.
Edytha is a rare feminine form rooted in Old English Eadgyth (Eadgyð), from ead “wealth, prosperity” and gyð “war, battle,” commonly glossed as “prosperous in war” or “fortune in battle.” Through medieval Latinization it became Editha in charters and chronicles, later yielding the standard English Edith; Edytha blends the archaic Edyth with the continental -a ending, and appears in both English and German records.
The name is tied to Anglo-Saxon prestige: Saint Edith of Wilton (10th century), Queen Edith of Wessex (wife of Edward the Confessor), and Edith/Matilda of Scotland reinforced its noble associations, before a strong Victorian revival brought it back into fashion. Variants include Edith, Editha, Edyth, and Edythe; international forms encompass Édith (French), Edyta (Polish), Edita (Spanish, Italian, Croatian, Czech), and Edite (Portuguese, Latvian). Common diminutives are Edie and Dita.
Edytha is extremely rare. There are only 9 recorded uses on record, spread over 6 countries.
