Edgar
Edgar is a commonly used English given name, from an Anglo-Saxon name ''Edgar'' (composed of ''ead'' "rich, prosperous" and ''gar'' "spear"). Like most Anglo-Saxon names, it fell out of use by the later medieval period; it was, however, revived in the 18th century, and was popularised by its use for a character in Sir Walter Scott's ''The Bride of Lammermoor'' (1819). The name was more common in the United States than elsewhere in the Anglosphere during the 1800s. It has been a particularly fashionable name in Latin American countries since the 20th century.
