Edeltraud is a typical Old High German given name, composed of the elements "edil" (noble, distinguished) and "fridu" (peace, protection). It reflects the wish that the child grows up with dignity and in safe care. Although it was popular in Germany in the mid-20th century, it is now among the rather rare but historically rooted names.
An Edeltraud radiates a warm, down-to-earth energy, mixed with a certain humorous composure. She often appears as the one in the circle of friends who provides the best coffee and the most honest advice, without losing her composure. With a wink, she takes life seriously, but not too seriously, and brings unexpected calm to the situation even in stressful moments.
