Wealthy guardian
A Germanic name derived from the Old English elements 'ead', meaning wealth or fortune, and 'weard', meaning guard or protector. While Edward is the standard English form, Eduard is the preferred spelling in German, Dutch, and several Slavic languages. It carries a sense of continental sophistication and historical weight.
