Wealthy guardian or protector of riches
Eddi is a diminutive form of Edward or Edmund, rooted in the Old English elements 'ead', meaning wealth or fortune, and 'weard', meaning guardian. While traditionally a nickname, it is occasionally used as a standalone given name. It carries a friendly, approachable energy while retaining a sense of historical strength.
