Edwin Family History
Edwin Name Meaning
English: from the Middle English personal name Edwin (Old English Ēadwine from ēad ‘prosperity’ + wine ‘friend’). The name Edwin is also found among Christians in southern India but since South Indians traditionally do not have hereditary surnames the southern Indian name was in most cases registered as such only after immigration of its bearers to the US.
