Ede is a girl’s name of Old English origin. It’s a variant of Edith, which derives from the name Eadgyd, a combination of ead, meaning “wealth,” and gyd, meaning “strife.” Together, they form the meaning “strife for wealth” or “struggle for wealth”—perfect for an ambitious character who will work hard to achieve their dreams. Another variant of this name is Eda. This sweet name has an appealingly old-fashioned feel to it, and can be used as a nickname for Edith or as a standalone name.
