Etymology

From *audaz + *-warduz, a traditional dithematic Germanic personal name. The compound is continued directly by Old English Ēadweard and Old Norse Auðvarðr. The second constituent continues Proto-Germanic *-warduz (‘guard, watch’), beside *wardaz¹, ultimately belonging to the PIE root *wer- (Lehmann 1986a: 394, s.v. *wardja).
