Thinking about the name
Edithe
English origin
“A variant spelling of Edith with a silent 'e' at the end, Edithe was a favored Victorian-era spelling that adds a delicate, archaic aesthetic to the classic name. This form emphasizes the romantic sensibilities of the 19th century while maintaining the powerful meaning of wealth and battle that Edith carries.”
