In the Chinese department, a search on common surnames reveals that 德华 (Dehua) is a fairly common (or at least familiar and accepted) Chinese given name. 爱 is rarely used in masculine names from my experience.
Here, in fact is a chinese wiki page listing many famous people by the name of 李德华 (Li Dehua)

Russian has Эдуард, and Georgian has ედუარდ, as in Shevardnadze. Wiktionary
lists 愛德華 (aidéhuá) for Chinese, but I don't know that any Chinese would use
it as a Chinese name. Chinese given names are usually one or two syllables.
English, Spanish, and Russian have many names in common, and maybe Arabic and
Hindi have some (the Gujarati version of David is "Daud" like Arabic), but I
doubt you'll find a name that all six languages have in common.
