Edna
Woman's traditional name
Edna is a woman's given name, Hebrew in origin, meaning pleasure or delight.
It was popular in English-speaking countries from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century but has since fallen out of fashion: My great-aunt Edna lived to be ninety-seven.
The name now carries an old-fashioned quality, often evoking an earlier generation.
