A variant of Eider, referring to the sea duck
Eyder is a rare phonetic variant of Eider, which is derived from the North Germanic name for the large sea duck known for its soft down feathers. In some Spanish-speaking regions, particularly Colombia, it is used as a masculine given name, though its specific etymological path there is less documented. It carries connotations of the natural world and the sea.
About 23 boys were named Eyder in 2025.
