Eddison
Meaning of Eddison
Eddison, as a masculine given name, derives from a patronymic tradition in which the surname Edison—itself originating from the Old English personal name Edward, meaning “wealthy guardian”—was repurposed during the nineteenth century amid widespread admiration for the innovations of Thomas Edison. The orthographic choice to double the medial consonant in Eddison serves to foreground the Ed- element, thereby preserving the semantic integrity of its ancestral root while simultaneously asserting a distinct identity. Within Anglo-American naming practices, the name occupies a space defined by historical resonance and contemporary restraint: according to United States Social Security Administration data, twenty-one male infants were registered as Eddison in 2024, yielding a national rank of 903, with annual tallies fluctuating narrowly between ranks 861 and 915 over the past decade. This pattern of measured consistency reflects a deliberate parental preference for appellations that balance classical lineage with understated individuality. Phonetically rendered as /ˈɛdɪsn/, Eddison thus encapsulates a synthesis of etymological depth, cultural homage, and judicious rarity in modern usage.
