Edik name meaning:

The name Edik is a diminutive form of the name Eduard, which is the Russian and Eastern European variant of the English name Edward. The name Edward originates from the Old English name "Eadweard," which is derived from the elements "ead," meaning "wealth, fortune" or "prosperous" and "weard," meaning "guard." Therefore, the original meaning of the name can be interpreted as "guardian of the riches" or "wealthy guardian."

Edik, as a more informal and affectionate version of Eduard, carries with it the same root meanings of wealth, prosperity, and protection, albeit in a more familiar or endearing context. It is commonly used in Russian and Ukrainian cultures, and among speakers of related Slavic languages, as a nickname that denotes not just familial or friendship closeness, but also the hopes or aspirations parents might have for their son to be both prosperous and a protector in his own right.
