Meaning & origin
Edgardo has been in use in the United States since at least 1934, when it first appeared on the Social Security Administration's records. It reached its highest rank in 1992, but has since declined in usage. In the latest year, 2023, it was given to approximately 1 in 41,660 newborn boys. The name has seen the most popularity in the states of Arizona, California, and Texas. While never a common name nationally, Edgardo remains a recognizable choice within Hispanic communities, where its connection to the English Edgar is balanced by a distinct Italianate sound.
Edgardo is the Spanish and Italian form of Edgar, itself derived from Old English elements "ead" (wealth, fortune) and "gar" (spear). The name Edgar was popular in Anglo-Saxon England, borne by a 10th-century king of England. Its Romance counterparts emerged through medieval influence and have been used in Spanish- and Italian-speaking communities ever since.
