What Edoardo means
Where Edoardo comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Edoardo is the Italian form of a name that medieval Latin recorded as Eduardus. That Latin spelling runs through the chronicles of Edward the Confessor, the English king the Church canonized in 1161, and Italian took the name in this Latinized shape. Underneath sits a plain sense. A wealthy guardian, one set to watch over what is worth keeping.
In Italy the name found homes far apart. The poet Edoardo Sanguineti signed his verse with it. So did the singer Edoardo Bennato and Edoardo Agnelli of the Turin motor family. They shared no trade, only the four syllables and what those syllables mean.
The sense held.
On a Polish class register an Edoardo might now sit beside an Edward, since both grow from the same root. The name-day follows Saint Edward, kept on 13 October. Whoever answers to it answers to a word built for a keeper of wealth, strażnik bogactwa.
