Looking for the origin of a certain name is a common question here. And it's fine if that is all someone wants. But it does not tell you anything for certain. Your best bet would be to research your particular line person by person, generation by generation.

If you go to www.familysearch.org and type in Erdes, you will see that there are several entries to support the English origin.

Erd, Eard, Erdes and Erdis, this is an English surname. It is one of the occupational names for a keeper of animals, generally cows or sheep. The derivation is from the pre 7th Century Olde English word 'hierde' meaning a herd or flock.
