Edwin is the name of the Defendant in Gilbert and Sullivan's short comic opera "Trial by Jury". For that reason it's always been a favourite of mine. It's also similar to my husband's name, Edgar.
Edwin Frank "Eddy" Duchin was a popular American pianist and bandleader of the 1930s and 1940s, famous for his engaging onstage personality, his elegant piano style, and his fight against leukemia. His children are Peter Duchin and Annette Kalten.
Otherwise known as the most famous iteration of the GUO DUO YAO. This contemporary figure was once reknowned for his absurd lack of any ability whatsoever in the field of human communication, henceforth the name Edwin would later be adopted to commonly refer to any individual with a low emotional quotient (EQ).

Edwin Powell Hubble (November 20, 1889 – September 28, 1953) was an American astronomer. He profoundly changed astronomers' understanding of the nature of the universe by demonstrating the existence of other galaxies besides the Milky Way. He also discovered that the degree of redshift observed in light coming from a galaxy increased in proportion to the distance of that galaxy from the Milky Way. This became known as Hubble's law, and would help establish that the universe is expanding.They also named the now famous orbital telescope after him. :)
