Ned Kelly was given the nickname "Ned" as it is a common diminutive of the name Edward, which was his given name. The use of nicknames was typical in 19th-century Australia, where informal and familiar forms of names were often used. Additionally, Ned Kelly's persona as a folk hero and outlaw made his nickname more widely recognized and associated with his legacy.
