What does Eddie mean?
/ˈɛdi/2 syllables

Eddie is a friendly nickname most often short for Edward or Edwin, both Old English names built from ead, meaning "wealth" or "fortune," combined with "guardian" or "friend." It has long stood comfortably on its own as a given name.

Eddie has an easygoing, down-to-earth charm, like a name for a pet everyone in the neighborhood knows by first name. It suits a companion who's loyal, sociable, and a little bit of a character.
