Meaning & History
'Edna is the Biblical Hebrew form of Edna, a name meaning "pleasure" in Hebrew. It is derived from the root ʿaḏan, meaning "to delight." This name appears in the Old Testament Apocrypha, specifically in the Book of Tobit, where 'Edna is the wife of Raguel. It is occasionally found in English translations of the Bible but is rarely used as a given name in modern contexts.
