Eidis as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Eidis

What is the meaning of the name Eidis ?

The baby name Eidis is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced AY-dis (/ˈeɪdɪs/). Latvian approximate: /ˈeidis/.

Eidis is Latvian in Origin.

Eidis is a Nordic feminine given name, most often a diacritic-free spelling of Icelandic Eiðís, formed from the Old Norse elements eiðr “oath, vow” and dís “goddess; protective female spirit.” The compound yields meanings such as “oath-goddess,” “vow-spirit,” or more loosely “woman bound by a vow,” echoing the mythic dísir of Norse tradition.

Names ending in -dís were productive in medieval Scandinavia and experienced a national‑romantic revival in Iceland from the late 19th century; Eiðís/Eidis remains uncommon but documented in modern Icelandic use and is occasionally adopted elsewhere in the Nordic diaspora. Variant and related forms include Eiðís (Icelandic standard), Eidis (anglicized), and the parallel Eydís (“island” + dís), which some families treat as a near‑equivalent. Cognate stylistic cousins include Halldís and Hjördis/Hjördís. Outside Iceland, diacritics are typically dropped.
