Edythe is English in Origin.
Edythe is an English given name, a variant spelling of Edith, from Old English Eadgyth (ēad “wealth, fortune” + gyð “war, battle”), yielding the meaning “prosperous in battle” or “riches and war.” It was borne in Anglo-Saxon England by notable figures such as Saint Edith of Wilton (10th century) and Queen Edith of Wessex, wife of Edward the Confessor, helping the name endure even after the Norman Conquest. A major revival came in the Victorian era, and Edith ranked highly through the early 20th century in Britain and the United States.
Edythe emerged in the late 19th century as an elegant alternative favored in period records, peaking around the 1910s–1920s; today it feels rare and vintage. Related forms include Edith (standard), Edyth, Édith (French), Edit (Hungarian/Scandinavian), Edita (Czech, Spanish, Baltic), and Edyta (Polish). Nicknames include Edie and Edi. The name carries a poised blend of strength and inherited dignity.
