My grandmother was named Edith. As a girl, she experimented with spelling it Edythe, and eventually settled on Edithe, probably on the "Anne with an e is prettier" theory. She was called Edie a lot, and also Ede.(eed) She was a happy, fun-loving person.

In 2018, 86 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Edith who is registered female with the Social Security Administration. It is the 442nd most common female first name for living U.S. citizens.

People tend to think of Edith as an “old lady name” but it has actually been used consistently over the past 150 years and has never left the top 1000 US names for girls. It’s actually on the increase again, back in the top 500 for the first time in several decades. Because of all this, I don’t see Edith as a dated “old lady name” but instead a timeless classic.

This name seemed to be incredibly popular amongst early English royal families. I rather like it. It sounds very Anglo-Saxon, but it's not frumpy.
