Meaning & origin
Edwinna is a rare feminine form of the Old English name Edwin, first recorded in the United States in 1915. It saw its peak usage in 1943, during a period when elaborate feminine versions of traditional male names were in vogue. Despite its low overall frequency, the name has maintained a stable presence over the decades. Edwinna is a distinctive choice for parents seeking a name with historical roots and a gentle, melodic sound, without the popularity of more common names like Edwina.
Edwinna is a feminine elaboration of Edwin, an Old English name derived from the elements ead ("wealth, fortune") and wine ("friend"). The name Edwin was borne by several Anglo-Saxon kings, including a 7th-century king of Northumbria. The feminine form Edwinna emerged in the 19th century, part of a trend of creating elaborate feminine versions of established male names.
