Meaning & origin
Eddith is a rare spelling variant of Edith, a name of Old English origins meaning 'prosperous in war'. According to Social Security Administration data, Eddith was first recorded in 1909, with a single birth that year, which also stands as its peak year. The name has not appeared in the data since, reflecting a trajectory of stable near-extinction. Its similarity to the more common Edith and Edie may appeal to parents seeking a unique antique name, but the name remains essentially unattested beyond that single 1909 record. Top states for the name are unreported due to its rarity. Eddith belongs to the early 1900s decade but has not experienced a revival.
Eddith is a spelling variant of Edith, an Old English name composed of ēad 'prosperity, fortune' and gūð 'war'. The name was common in Anglo-Saxon England and was borne by several early saints, including St. Edith of Wilton (10th century). The variant Eddith, with a double 'd', is a rare 20th-century respelling.
