Meaning of the name Duarte
The name Duarte has its origins in the English Edward, from the Germanic read “rich” or “blessed” and weird “guardian”. Edward, in turn, is an English and Polish variant of Edward, a name that originated in the Germanic Hadaward.
It is believed that it may have originated from the transformation of the name Edward to the Portuguese Eduarte, which over the years lost the initial “e”, probably through D. Duarte, eleventh king of Portugal, son of D. John I
Duarte was the name used by many princes, kings, and people linked to the nobility in Portugal during the Middle Ages.
Currently, one of the best-known personalities with this name is Duarte Pio de Bragança, known as the “king of Portugal”. A descendant of the Portuguese royal family, Duarte Bragança owns the title of “Duke of Bragança” and, if there was still a monarchical government in Portugal, he would be crowned king of the country.
