Edoardo is the Italian form of Edward, which traces back to Old English elements *ēad* ("wealth, fortune") and *weard* ("guardian"), giving the full meaning "wealthy guard." The most famous Italian bearer was Edoardo Vespa, the journalist who spent decades documenting rural life in China, while in fashion circles the name is tied to Edoardo Chiossi, a co-founder of the luxury label Etro. There is no major place directly named for an Edoardo, but the English root *ead* appears in place names like Edwinstowe in Nottinghamshire. A further note: this name has seen a quiet but steady rise among Scottish parents in recent years, likely influenced by the global popularity of Italian culture and cuisine.
