Edras is of Hebrew origin and its meaning is "helper" or "aid". It is a variant spelling of the more common name "Elijah", which has similar roots and significance. The name gained popularity during the Middle Ages in Europe, particularly in Spain, where it was introduced by Jewish communities. Today, Edras is still found among some Jewish populations and can be considered quite unique due to its rarity in most English-speaking countries.
"Edras has seen a steady increase in popularity since the late 2000s, with peaks in recent years (2018-2023), suggesting it's now quite fashionable."
