Help[Facts] Re: Edrit//Etrit/Atrit (m) (Medieval English name of Anglo-saxon origin)
in reply to a message by (Is-rah-el) Israelle
The name Edrit / Etrit / Atrit seems to have an Anglo-Saxon etymology, possibly deriving from a combination of elements meaning "prosperous," "noble," or "ruler." While there is not a large corpus of evidence for these exact spellings in historical texts, the general structure of the name fits well within the naming conventions of the Anglo-Saxon period. There is also a possibility that the name, or variants of it, may have been used regionally and was later obscured or lost to historical records.
If you're interested in more research into Anglo-Saxon names, focusing on the Old English dictionary and works like the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle might yield further clues, though names like this might not always appear in high-profile historical documents.
