EADWINE.
Anglo-Saxon name meaning "rich friend," from Old English ead "happy,
rich," and wine "beloved, friend." (A Compendious Anglo-Saxon and English Dictionary,
Bosworth, 1901). The modern English form is Edwin.
Rædwald, king of East Anglia,
a lukewarm Christian, was Bretwalda in 617; but at his court, Eadwine,
of Northumbria, met Paulinus, a disciple of Augustine. Eadwine became
Bretwalda in 621... (History of Christian Names, Yonge, 1884)
