På hans fødselsattest står Edison som offisielt fornavn og 21. oktober 1940 som fødselsdato. Pelé har derimot hele tiden hevdet at dette er feil, og at han fikk navn Edson og ble født 23. oktober 1940.

In order to celebrate this great improvement to our daily lives, Dondinho named me Edson, a tribute to Thomas Edison, the inventor of the lightbulb. In fact, on my birth certificate I am actually called Edison with an 'i', a mistake that persists to this day. I'm Edson with no 'i', but to my eternal annoyance quite often the 'i' appears on official or personal documents and time after time I have to explain why. As if that wasn't confusing enough, they got the date wrong on my birth certificate as well – it says 21. oktober. I'm not sure how this came about; probably because in Brazil we're not so fussy about accuracy. This is another mistake that carries on to this day. When I took out my first passport, the date was put in as 21. oktober and each time I have renewed it the date has stayed the same.»
