The name EDOUARD is derived from the Old English name Ēadwæard, which means "rich guard" or "prosperous guardian." This name was popularized by King Edward the Confessor, who ruled England from 1042 to 1066. The French form EDOUARD emerged as a result of the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, when French became the language of the ruling class.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname EDOUARD can be found in the Domesday Book, a manuscript record of landowners in England commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1086. The name appears as "Edouard de Warwick," referring to a landowner from the town of Warwick.

During the 16th century, Edouard de Vere (1550-1604) was an English poet and courtier who was a major figure in the Renaissance literary scene. He is often cited as a potential candidate for the authorship of the works attributed to William Shakespeare.
