Eidith Origin and Meaning

The name Eidith is a girl's name.

Eidith is a feminine name that represents an uncommon spelling variant of Edith, which comes from the Old English elements 'ead' meaning 'wealth, fortune' and 'gyð' meaning 'war, battle,' together signifying 'prosperous in war' or 'blessed warrior.' This alternative spelling gives the traditional name a distinctive look while maintaining its historical essence. Edith was popular among Anglo-Saxons and experienced a revival in the 19th century. The Eidith variant remains quite rare, appealing to those seeking to honor the traditional name while adding a unique twist. The name carries associations with several notable historical Ediths, including Edith Wharton and St. Edith of Wilton.
