EADWARD. The
same as Anglo-Saxon Eadweard
(q.v.), meaning "rich guard," from Old English ead
"happy, rich," and weard "guard, ward." (History
of Christian Names, Yonge, 1884). Some render the name
"defender of his property." Modern English, Edward.
Cf. Eadgard.
... Eadward, the son of
Æthelred and Emma, the brother of the murdered and half-canonized
Ælfred, had long been familiar to English imaginations, and, since the
accession of his half-brother Harthacnut, the English Court had been his
usual dwelling-place... (History of the Norman Conquest of England,
Freeman, v.1, 1877)
