Edith
Edith
is a female given name, derived from the Old English
words ēad, meaning 'riches or blessed', and ġȳð, meaning 'war',
[1]
and is in common usage in this form in English, German, many
Scandinavian languages and Dutch. Its French form is Édith.
Contractions and variations of this name include Ditte, and Edie.
It was a common first name prior to the 16th century, when it fell
out of favour. It became popular again at the beginning of the
19th century, and in 2016 it was ranked at 488th most popular
female name in the United States, according to the Social
Security online database.
