Edit Origin and Meaning

The name Edit is a girl's name.

Edit is a feminine name with multiple origins and meanings across different cultures. In Hungarian, it's a form of Edith, pronounced 'EH-deet,' and has been a traditional name for centuries. In Scandinavian countries, particularly Sweden, Edit also appears as a variant of Edith. The name ultimately derives from the Old English 'Eadgyth,' combining 'ead' (wealth, prosperity) and 'gyth' (battle). Despite its simplicity, Edit may cause confusion in English-speaking countries as it's identical to the English verb 'edit.' The name experienced modest popularity in Hungary and parts of Northern Europe throughout the 20th century but remains uncommon in most Western countries. It has a concise, straightforward quality while carrying historical depth.
