History & Origin

Edrie looks to be one of the many soft, invented '-ie' names American families coined around the turn of the twentieth century, most likely reshaping the Old English element ead, 'wealth' or 'blessing', that also gives Edith and Edna. The precise route is not documented.

It never caught on widely, peaking around 1908 at only a few dozen girls a year and fading afterward. It reads as a genuine antique with a partly uncertain origin rather than a revived name.

Did you know? Edrie belongs to a family of homemade 'Ed-' names popular a century ago; it was scarce even at its 1908 high of only a few dozen girls a year.
