History & Origin

Edwinna is a feminine of Edwin, the old English name meaning 'rich' or 'blessed friend.' It sits beside the more common Edwina, differing only in the doubled n. Names of this shape were popular when parents wanted to honor a male relative named Edwin with a daughter's name that echoed his.

Edwinna was always uncommon, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak around 1943, and it faded well before the century's end. A woman named Edwinna then is in her eighties today.
