Edwarda is an uncommon yet elegant feminine variant of the classic name Edward. Derived from the Old English elements 'ead' meaning prosperity and 'weard' meaning guardian, it shares its root with other forms such as Edgar and Edwin. The use of Edwarda was more prevalent during the Middle Ages but has since become rare. Despite its scarcity in modern times, Edwarda maintains a distinctive charm, offering a unique choice for parents seeking an unusual yet regal name for their daughter.
"The name Edwarda saw a peak in popularity during the early 20th century, with a notable spike between 1917 and 1921, and another smaller increase in 1926 and 1928."
