"Edward" is an English equivalent of the Portuguese name Duarte. The masculine proper name originates from the Anglo-Saxon name Éadweard (from ead for "wealth" and weard for "guardian") and persists as a more common surname than as a forename (replaced by the same-meaning Eduardo) nowadays. The respective pronunciations will be "DWAR-tchee" for the surname and "ey-DWAR-doo" for the forename in Cariocan Brazilian and continental Portuguese.
