About the name Ede
The origin of the spelling Ede is uncertain and is not known with confidence. The Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) records Ede- as the beginning of compound names, linked to Anglo-Saxon Germanic ead, 'wealth, goods', but this does not show the origin of the name Ede on its own. Ede is also a Hungarian masculine name, a diminutive of Eduárd, according to Behind the Name, which likewise does not indicate the origin of the Brazilian use. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 1,099 people named Ede, with a median age of 47, more men than women. Proportionally, it is most common in São Paulo.
