Ned ♂ Short form of Edward, originating in the misdivision of phrases such as mine Ed (compare Nan). It was common in the Middle Ages and up to the 18th century, but in the 19th was almost entirely superseded in the role of short form by Ted. It is now, however, enjoying a modest revival, also as an independent given name.
