Origin and meaning of Duarte
Duarte is the Portuguese form of Edward, from the Anglo-Saxon Germanic Eadweard, made of ead 'wealth, prosperity' and weard 'guardian' — 'guardian of prosperity'. The name was brought to Portugal by the royal dynasty and is tied especially to Dom Duarte I, the scholarly 15th-century king. Today it's chosen for its distinctive sound and quiet elegance, setting it apart from more common forms like Edward.
