Eadith Origin and Meaning

The name Eadith is a girl's name.

Eadith is an elegant feminine name with Anglo-Saxon origins. A variant of Edith, it derives from the Old English elements 'ead' meaning 'wealth, fortune, prosperity' and 'gyth' meaning 'battle, conflict.' The uncommon spelling with 'ea' reflects the name's ancient roots and gives it a distinctive, antique quality. Historically borne by several notable women in medieval England, including Saint Edith of Wilton, it carries an air of nobility and wisdom. Though rare in contemporary use, Eadith appeals to parents interested in historical names with substantial meaning. Its vintage charm aligns with the revival of classic names while remaining uncommon enough to feel special.
