Edweina Origin and Meaning

The name Edweina is a girl's name.

Edweina is a feminine form of Edwin, an Anglo-Saxon name combining the elements 'ead' meaning 'wealth' or 'fortune' and 'wine' meaning 'friend,' thus signifying 'wealthy friend' or 'rich friend.' This feminine variation maintains the strong historical roots of the masculine name while adding a softer, more feminine ending. Though uncommon in modern usage, Edweina carries a certain vintage charm and aristocratic air. The name was occasionally used in the early 20th century but never achieved widespread popularity. Edweina might appeal to parents seeking a distinctive name with historical depth and an elegant sound. It offers the potential for the cute nickname 'Edwee' or 'Wina' while providing a distinguished full name.
