MEANING & HISTORY
What does Edesio mean?
The Real Academia Galega connects exact Edesio with Latin Aedesius and late Greek Aidesios. It explains the family through respect, modesty and reverence.
The documented Spanish and Italian equivalents match the catalogue spelling, rather than requiring a conjectural correction to another saint’s name.
