Eduardo is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Edward, ultimately from the Old English name Ēadweard, combining ēad ("wealth, fortune") and weard ("guardian"), so it means "wealthy guardian" or "protector of prosperity". One of the most famous bearers was Eduardo "Lalo" Guerrero, a pioneering Mexican-American musician and composer often called the "father of Chicano music". In politics, Eduardo Frei Montalva served as President of Chile, and his son, Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle, also held the office. The name's Portuguese form, Duarte, was borne by a 15th-century King of Portugal, Duarte I, and the name Eduardo is shared with a king in Shakespeare's *Richard III*. Though not originally Scottish, the name has found warm favour in modern Scotland, likely due to its melodic, international flair.
