Edea Origin and Meaning

Edea is a feminine name with multiple potential origins. It may derive from Greek etymology related to 'idea' or 'thought,' or could be a variation of Edith, which comes from the Old English 'eadgyth' meaning 'prosperity in war' or 'blessed combat.' The name gained some recognition through the character Edea Kramer in the popular video game Final Fantasy VIII. Edea has an ethereal, elegant quality with its flowing vowels and soft consonants.
