Anglo-Saxon Names that Start With E

  1. Egbert
    • Origin:

      Anglo-Saxon
    • Meaning:

      "bright edge of a sword"
    • Description:

      Egbert still suffers somewhat from being used as a stereotypical name for nerds and aristocrats. It would be a surprising choice, but with its edgy meaning and dusty charm, possibly it's so beyond cool that it's...actually kind of cool?
  2. Elgar
    • Origin:

      Anglo-Saxon
    • Meaning:

      "spearman"
    • Description:

      A pared-down version of the Anglo-Saxon names Æthelgar and Ælfgar. It's very rarely used, but might appeal for the connection to English classical composer Edward Elgar, or just for its distinctive vintage sound, as an alternative to Edgar.
