Origin: British

Meaning: Wealthy guard, rich guard

Bold and bound for honor, Edouard is a boy’s name of English origin, meaning “wealthy guard.” A sweet spin on the Old English name Edward, whose elements ead and weard marvelously meld to make “rich guard,” Edouard is a darling redesign of a name magnified ever since the conclusion of the Norman Conquest. And while Edouard’s popularity has both peaked and plunged over the last century, it remains a first-rate pick for artists and athletes from all over the world, like French writer Édouard Louis and Senegalese footballer Édouard Mendy.
