Edoardo Origin and Meaning

The name Edoardo is a boy's name.

Edoardo is the Italian form of Edward, a masculine name with ancient Anglo-Saxon origins. The name derives from the Old English elements 'ead' meaning 'wealth, fortune' and 'weard' meaning 'guardian', together signifying 'wealthy guardian' or 'prosperous protector'. This melodic Italian variation carries an artistic, sophisticated flair while honoring the name's noble heritage. Edoardo has been borne by numerous Italian aristocrats, artists, and public figures throughout history. While consistently popular in Italy and other Italian-speaking regions, it remains relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, making it an attractive option for parents seeking an elegant name with international appeal and rich historical connections.
