Meaning & origin
Eddis is a rare and largely forgotten name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1912. That year, its peak year, it was given to fewer than five children (the data rounds counts below 5). Since then, it has not reappeared on the Social Security Administration's list of recorded names, making it one of the most uncommon choices on record. The name's trajectory is stable in its obscurity, with no measurable resurgence in any subsequent decade. It likely originated as a diminutive or feminine variant of names like Edward or Edwin, following a pattern of affectionate 'Ed-' nicknames. While it never ranked among the top 1,000 names, its rarity gives it a distinctly vintage appeal. Eddis was never associated with any particular state, and its use was too minimal to track geographic trends.
Eddis is likely a diminutive or feminine form of names beginning with 'Ed-', such as Edward or Edwin. It follows a pattern of affectionate nicknames ending in '-is' or '-ie'. The name has been in rare use in the United States since the early 20th century, with its only recorded peak in 1912.
