What Edhar means
Where Edhar comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Edhar comes from Germanic roots. It joins two old elements, ead, meaning wealth or prosperity, and gar, meaning spear. Together they hold the short meaning kept on record today, prosperity spear, in Polish szczęśliwa włócznia.
The same two elements stand behind the English Edgar, a name worn by Edgar the Peaceful, king of the English, who died in 975. The element ead also sits inside Edward. Edhar keeps an older shape, and the spear, gar, stays near the ending.
In early Germanic names a spear meant a real weapon. Here it sits beside prosperity, ead. The spear half is literal. A person named Edhar answered to both parts at once, the wealth and the blade that the short meaning, szczęśliwa włócznia, still records.
