Prosperous in war
Derived from the Old English name Eadgyth, it combines the elements 'ead', meaning wealth or fortune, and 'gyth', meaning battle. It was a common name among Anglo-Saxon royalty and remained popular after the Norman Conquest. This specific spelling is a rare, vintage variant of the more common Edith.
