In 2025, 98 babies in England and Wales were named Edwin. In the US, 1,027 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 3,829 in 1922.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Edwin was most common in 1915, when it went to 0.36% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
