In commerce, Edy’s Grand Ice Cream is a well-known brand in the United States. The brand’s name arises from Joseph Edy, one of the founders of the original company, and in the U.S. the products are marketed as Edy’s Grand Ice Cream; in some markets the same product is sold under the Dreyer’s name. The line encompasses a wide range of dairy frozen desserts, including traditional flavors and newer varieties.

Edy may also appear in other contexts as part of brand names, corporate names, or as a transliteration of a personal name, depending on language and culture. As a result, the term Edy is ambiguous and may require clarification in use.
