History & Origin

Eddith is an early-twentieth-century respelling of Edith, a name rooted in Old English words for blessedness and battle. Edith enjoyed a strong revival in the Victorian and Edwardian years, and variant spellings like this one turned up as the name peaked in popularity.

It appears in American records chiefly in the early twentieth century, around the nineteen-tens, riding Edith's own high tide before the variant faded. A woman named Eddith then would be of the great-grandmother generation now, a distinctly Edwardian-era spelling.

Did you know? The parent name Edith was borne by a tenth-century English princess-saint, which helped keep it in use for a thousand years before spellings like Eddith briefly appeared.
