Eddy

Eddy is an affectionate diminutive of Edward, an English name that crossed the Channel with the Normans. Edward itself comes from the Old English Eadweard, meaning 'wealthy guardian.' The name became a staple among English royalty, eventually evolving into shorter forms like Eddy, which gained independent popularity by the late 19th century.

When you first picture calling out 'Eddy' across a park, you might imagine a child with bright eyes, quick to chase a ball or share a laugh. It’s a name that feels like a friendly hand offered, a smile that widens into a grin. This name carries a light, energetic spirit, a sense of well-being that your son will carry with him.
