About the name Éder
The origin of the Brazilian use of Éder is uncertain. There are two distinct Eder names: a biblical one, used in Hebrew, and a Basque one, which Wiktionary derives from the Basque eder, 'beautiful'. Soledade's dictionary records Edher, Heder, Ede and Hede as spelling variants. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 68,189 people named Éder, most of them born in the 1980s, and the name is almost always male.
The accent marks the stressed syllable; IBGE records names without accents, so Eder and Éder fall into the same count.
