Aldus Forename Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

A male name. Aldus, Aldis, or Aldous has been used as a christian name in England since at least the 13th C. It seems to have been almost confined to East Anglia, where it is still occasionally used, and where the surnames Aldous, Aldis, Aldiss, Aldhouse, &c., are common. Its earlier history is obscure, but there can be little doubt that it is the same as the Old German Aldo ‘old’, which corresponds to the Old English Ealda. Aldo took firm root in Italy and was often latinized as Aldus (cf. Aldus Manutius the famous printer of ‘aldine’ editions of the classics). There were two saints of the name, Aldo or Aldus, an 8th-C hermit of Bobbio whose relics are preserved at Pavia, and Aldo Count of Ostrevant an 8th-C Benedictine of the monastery of Hirson in Belgium.

Aldus Hundred Rolls 1273.
