Meaning of Ed
Rich protector; Rich guard
Ed is a masculine diminutive of any name beginning with the element ‘ed-,’ although it is generally most commonly considered a diminutive of Edward and Edmund . The name Edward means ‘rich guard’ and is a combination of the Old English name elements ‘ead,’ meaning ‘wealth’ or ‘fortune,’ and ‘weard,’ meaning ‘guard.’ This was the name of several Anglo-Saxon kings, the most famous being Saint Edward the Confessor, who was also the last king before the Norman Conquest. On the other hand, the name Edmund means ‘rich protection’ and is a combination of the Old English term ‘ead’ with ‘mund,’ the latter meaning ‘protection.’ Historically, Edmund was the name of two Anglo-Saxon kings of England and also two saints from the ninth century.
