Edwilda

Technically, it is possible that this given name is derived from Eadwild, which is a corruption or misspelling of the Anglo-Saxon name Eadhild, but this is very unlikely, seeing as Eadwild has only been encountered once in that particular capacity so far. As such, it is instead much more likely that Edwilda is a combination of any given name starting with Edw- (such as Edward and Edwin) with Hilda or names ending in -ilda or -ilde (such as Matilda and Clothilde).

Known bearers of this name include the American civil rights pioneer Edwilda Gustava Allen Isaac (b. 1937) and Irene Edwilda Heinz-Given (1871-1956), the daughter of the American entrepreneur Henry J. Heinz (1844-1919).
