Edee

US Popularity Rank: 24927

Origin: British

Meaning: Prosperous in strife; Spoils of war

Once a sweet nickname for British Edith, Edee has earned its place as a vintage baby name for its popularity in the 1960s. This feminine name ultimately derives from the Old English Eadgyð, with ead meaning "riches" or "blessed," and gyð, meaning "war." Interpreted as "prosperous in strife" or "spoils of war," Edee is for the baby whose nobility knows no bounds. Often underestimated, Edee is not one to bow down to despair. Edee celebrates the reward of perseverance through even the darkest days and shows how gentleness is a virtue, not a weakness. A superb quality to instill in baby, Edee won't lead you astray.
