Meaning & Origin

Currently ranked #8477, Edonis is familiar enough that people will recognize it but not so common that your child shares it with three classmates.
In the most recent SSA release, Edonis ranks #8477 among U.S. boy names — distinctive enough to stand out.
Edonis is a boy's baby name with Albanian roots, widely used in Albania and Kosovo, possibly a variant of Adonis — the Greek mythological figure of supreme beauty — or a creative Albanian coinage meaning 'beautiful' or 'handsome.'
Edonis is extremely rare in U.S. records but carries a strong presence in Albanian diaspora communities. Its classical Greek underpinnings give it weight while its Albanian identity makes it deeply personal for families with Balkan heritage.
