Eyde is Norse, Norwegian in Origin.

Eyde is a rare given name with Scandinavian roots. As a Norwegian surname, it comes from the farm name Eide, based on Old Norse eið, meaning “isthmus, land bridge, portage.” Used as a modern first name, it suggests a passage or link between waters. The surname is known in Norway through industrialist Sam Eyde (1876–1940) and has occasionally migrated to given-name use in recent decades, often unisex.

In English-speaking settings, Eyde may also be read as a creative spelling of Eydie/Edie, the pet form of Edith (Old English Ēadgyth: ēad “wealth, blessing” + gyð “war/battle”), giving the alternate sense “prosperity in war” or “blessed riches.” Variants and related forms include Eide, Eydie, Edie, Eida, and Eyda. Not to be confused with Icelandic Eydís (“island-goddess”), though the resemblance is close.
