Alden is English in Origin.
Alden stems from Old English Ealdwine, from eald "old, venerable" and wine "friend," meaning "old friend" or "wise friend." It also became a hereditary surname formed from that personal name. Close relatives appear across Germanic languages, such as medieval Aldwin/Aldwyn in England, German Alwin, and the continental form Alduin.
Attested in pre-Conquest England, Alden later survived mainly as a surname before re-emerging as a given name in the English-speaking world, notably via Mayflower settler John Alden and his prominent New England descendants. In the United States it has enjoyed quiet, steady use since the late 1800s. Modern variants and cognates include Aldwin, Aldwyn, Alwin, and Alduin; occasional feminine adaptations are Aldena and Aldine. The name conveys a warm, steadfast character rooted in friendship and experience.
