Wealth and battle, when used as a familiar form of Edith.
The library archive documents an Edith who was known as Eadie. Edith has older Germanic elements meaning wealth or riches and battle. This interpretation applies to Edith-linked familiar-name use; it does not establish a universal meaning for every Eadie or for the separate surname.
Documented Edith-linked familiar-name use, with Old English ancestry through Edith.
An archived historical record explicitly pairs Edith with Eadie. The parent name Edith is inherited from Old English. This is one attested given-name route; the separate English and Scottish Eadie/Eady surname history is not used to establish the origin of every bearer.
Not yet published for this spelling.
Counts apply only to the exact spelling, place, year and recorded usage shown. Places are separate; these figures are never added into a worldwide total. Missing or suppressed records never mean zero.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canada | 2019 | Girls | 5 | 3266 | 2025 figures are preliminary. Quebec counts below five are randomly imputed by the publisher before national aggregation. Accents are removed in the source; this profile was matched only where the catalog spelling was unambiguous. Unpublished values are unknown, not zero. Rank basis: source published. |

Michael M. Black’s October 6, 2020 post identifies Edith Bolling Boyd with the familiar name Eadie, in the history of the Del Rubio performers. This establishes a documented bearer’s usage, not a universal diminutive rule or etymology for everyone named Eadie. University hosting is not institutional endorsement of a general name dictionary.
