Edgaras

Edgaras is a given name, primarily masculine, of Old English origin. It is derived from the elements "ead" meaning "wealth" or "fortune" and "gar" meaning "spear." The name therefore suggests a warrior who is both wealthy and powerful. It was a common name among Anglo-Saxon nobility before the Norman Conquest. Over time, the name evolved into variations such as Edgar.

The name Edgar saw a resurgence in popularity in the 19th century, particularly in English-speaking countries, often due to a romanticized view of Anglo-Saxon history. It is a name found in various cultures, though its prevalence varies. In some regions, it might be a more common or modern adaptation of the older forms.

Notable individuals named Edgaras are less documented than those named Edgar, as Edgaras is a less widespread variant. However, the name continues to be used in contemporary times, often chosen for its historical roots and strong sound. Its usage is more concentrated in certain European countries where similar Germanic names are traditional.
