Edwrd is a name of Welsh origin and it means "guardian of peace". It comes from the Old English words ead, meaning rich or prosperous, and weard, which means guardian. Throughout history, many notable figures have borne this name. One famous Edwrd was King Edward I of England, who ruled during the 13th century and was known for his military prowess. Another notable figure is Edward VIII, who abdicated the British throne in 1936 to marry Wallis Simpson. Despite its historical significance, Edwrd remains a relatively uncommon name today.
The name Edward has seen a consistent but limited presence in the United States over time, with five babies being given this name annually in both 1968 and 1983. There was also a slight spike in its popularity in 1985, with another five births that year. Altogether, over these three years, there were a total of fifteen babies named Edward born in the United States.
