History & Origin

Eduar is a clipped form of Eduardo, the Spanish and Portuguese adaptation of Old English Eadweard (Edward), composed of ead (wealth, riches, fortune) and weard (guard, protector). Eduardo has been used in the Spanish-speaking world since at least the medieval period, introduced through Norman and Latin contact. The clipped form Eduar is a modern Spanish-language innovation.

Eduar appears primarily on birth records in Colombia, Venezuela, and other Latin American countries, as well as in U.S. Hispanic communities. It represents a tendency in Spanish-speaking communities to use shortened forms of traditional names as standalone given names. On U.S. birth records, Eduar is uncommon but present, almost entirely in the Latino community.

Did you know? The name Edward — of which Eduar is ultimately a descendant — has been borne by eight kings of England, making it one of the most regal names in the English tradition. Through Spanish Eduardo, its shortened form Eduar carries this ancient royal heritage.
