EADGARD.
Anglo-Saxon name meaning "keeper of his oath," from eað "oath,"
and gard (guard), "guardian, keeper,
protector." Can yield Edgar
(q.v.), a name more often said to be from Eadgar
("happy spear").
... "Eað, now in the
north of England eath; we retain in the southern parts othe (i.e. oath);
whence Ead-gard, by shortness become Edgar, is a
keeper of his oath: Verst."—but keeper here signifies only
guardian, or protector; so that both guard, and ead,
for oath, are Greek... (English Etymology, Lemon, 1783)
