Meaning & origin
Edwing is a rare given name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1984. It reached its peak popularity in 2005, though it has never been common enough to rank in the national top 1000. The name is a variant of Edwin, which has Old English roots meaning 'wealthy friend.' Despite its low frequency, Edwing has maintained a stable trajectory in usage over the decades. It is most often used for boys and carries a traditional, strong sound similar to other 'Ed-' names. Parents choosing Edwing may appreciate its distinctiveness while still having familiar nickname options like Ed or Eddie.
Edwing is a variant of Edwin, derived from the Old English elements 'ead' (wealth, fortune) and 'wine' (friend). It gained some use as a given name in English-speaking countries, particularly in the late 20th century.
