Edgar (also Édgar) is a proper name of Anglo-Saxon origin meaning "He who defends his lands with the spear". Its Spanish variant is Edgardo, but it has often been replaced by its English variant, due to its popularity because of the success of the American writer Edgar Allan Poe in the 19th century, and it has been hispanicized as Édgar. There is an opera by Giacomo Puccini called Edgar, and there is also the Edgar Award.
