Eiddwyna is in Origin.

Eiddwyna blends Old English roots with a Welsh-tinged spelling. It is best understood as an ornamental elaboration of Edwina, the feminine form of Edwin, from ead “prosperity, fortune” + wine “friend,” yielding the meaning “prosperous friend.” The ddw cluster and final -a echo Welsh orthography, but Eiddwyna itself is not attested in traditional Welsh records. Usage appears modern and very rare, while Edwina rose in Britain from the 19th century, familiarized by figures like Edwina Mountbatten.

Related forms include Edwina (standard), Edwinna and Edwyna (alternative spellings), and the archaizing Eadwina; continental Edvina also occurs. Welsh lookalikes such as Eiddwen (a saint’s name) show the ddw sequence but are etymologically separate, ending in -wen from gwen/gwyn “fair, blessed.” Possible nicknames are Edie and Winnie. Eiddwyna therefore combines a classic Anglo-Saxon meaning with a Celtic aesthetic.
