Eddnah Origin and Meaning

The name Eddnah is a girl's name.

Eddnah is a distinctive variation of the Hebrew name Edna, which means 'pleasure' or 'delight'. The doubled consonants give this traditional name a modern, unique twist while maintaining its biblical connections. Edna appears in the Book of Tobit in the Apocrypha as Tobias's mother-in-law, giving the name historical and religious significance. The unusual spelling variation Eddnah remains quite rare, appealing to parents seeking a name with traditional roots but a contemporary feel. Despite its ancient origins, the name has a surprisingly fresh sound that distinguishes it from more common biblical names. The additional 'h' at the end creates a visual connection to other biblical names like Sarah and Rebekah, enhancing its traditional credentials while the doubled 'd' adds a distinctive modern touch.
