Eadgar, a well-known and royal
personal name among the A.-Saxons. There are probably several
distinct families of this designation. The Scottish family deduce
themselves from Gospatrick, earl of Northumberland, temp. William I.,
who was a kinsman of Eàdgar Atheling, and a descendant of king Eàdgar,
great grandson of Alfred the Great. The Edgars of Suffolk claim
from a John Edgar of Dunwich, living in 1237.(Patronymica Britannica,
Lower, 1860)
