Meaning & origin

Edrie is a rare American name first recorded in the U.S. in 1889. It peaked in 1908, when it saw its highest usage, though it never achieved widespread popularity. According to Social Security data, it has remained consistently rare, with no births recorded in recent decades. The name's origin is uncertain, possibly a variant of Edra or a creative spelling. Its trajectory has been stable, never experiencing a surge, and it has stayed in the background as an obscure choice. Edrie is practically unused today, making it a truly unique selection for parents seeking an antique, uncommon name.

Edrie first appeared in the late 19th century in the United States, likely as a modern coinage or a variant of Edra, itself possibly derived from Old English elements. It may also be a feminine elaboration of names like Edric. The name saw a small peak in usage around 1908 but has remained rare.
