Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Eduardo
Eduardo is primarily the Spanish equivalent of the old English name Edward (the Portuguese typically use Duarte). Edward is one of the oldest English given names of Saxon origin and thus dates back to before the Norman Conquest (1066). It’s one of the few instances in which England provided a new name to continental Europe rather than the other way around. Edward (originally Ēadweard in Old England) comes from the Olde English words “ēad” meaning ‘prosperity, riches’ and “weard” meaning ‘guard’ so the name essentially means ‘Guard of Riches’ or ‘Protector of Wealth.’ The Spanish most certainly have been using the name since the Middle Ages and it’s currently a Top 100 choice in Spain.
