Meaning & origin
Eduardo has been a consistent presence in U.S. naming since the 1890s, but its popularity surged in the late 20th century, peaking in 2001. As of 2025, it ranks 410, with a 1-in-2,195 birth rate. The name remains especially common in states with large Hispanic populations, including Nevada, New Mexico, and Arizona. Since 1995, however, its usage has been slowly declining.
Eduardo is the Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian form of Edward, which derives from the Old English elements ead (wealth, fortune) and weard (guardian, protector). The name was introduced to the Iberian Peninsula through the influence of the English king Edward the Confessor and later the British royal family. It has been widely used across Latin America and in Hispanic communities in the United States since the early 20th century.
