History and Origin
Edgar is a common name from Old English words ead (meaning "rich, happy, prosperous") + gar (meaning "spear"). Literally meaning "prosperity-spear" or "prosperous spearman." In Spanish it is accented Édgar.
English (also used in France): from an Old English personal name composed of the elements ēad prosperity, riches, fortune + gār spear. This was the name of an English king and saint, Edgar the Peaceful (d. 975), and of Edgar Atheling (?1060–?1125), the young prince who was chosen to succeed Harold as king in 1066, but who was supplanted by the Normans.
Variant: French: Edgard (probably influenced in spelling by the more common Édouard).
