Edith

Grandmother's era moniker

Edith is a feminine given name of Old English origin, from elements meaning "riches" and "war." Once among the most popular names in English-speaking countries, it peaked in the early twentieth century and now sounds old-fashioned: My great-aunt Edith lived to be ninety-seven.
