Edsell is an uncommon and distinctive given name of English origin. It's believed to be derived from Old English elements 'ead' meaning 'wealth' or 'prosperity', and 'seax' which translates to 'sword'. This combination suggests a name with a strong, powerful meaning. Edsell was first used as a personal name in the Middle Ages but has since become quite rare.
