Alda

Herkunft und Bedeutung von Alda

Alda springs from the Germanic ald, 'old, ancient,' with the extended sense of 'wise and authoritative'—those who have lived long hold wisdom. A short, firm name, it is the feminine counterpart of the masculine Aldo. Distinctly Italian, it remains fairly common among older generations and has relatives in the Germanic world; French epic tradition echoes it in the figure of Aude. Parents like its crisp sound and understated elegance.
