These 30 Vintage Baby Names Are Suddenly Cool All Over Again

Edith

With its roots in Old English, Edith means “prosperous in war” or “rich in fortune,” carrying a sense of strength and history. The name first became well-known in the early 1900s, but it left its mark through the remarkable women who had it.

Edith Wharton, the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and Edith Piaf, whose powerful voice defined French chanson music, gave this name an unforgettable legacy. Though it may have fallen out of the spotlight for a bit, Edith is being rediscovered for its elegance and timeless appeal. It’s the perfect name for anyone who wants something classic, with some old-world charm and sophistication.
