What is the meaning of the name Aldo ?

The baby name Aldo is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈæl.doʊ/ (English), /ˈal.do/ (Italian); "AL-doh".

Aldo is Italian in Origin.

Aldo is an Italian given name of Germanic stock, from the element ald “old, experienced,” widespread in early medieval compound names among Lombards and other Germanic peoples in Italy. The simple form Aldo is attested in medieval records and was later Latinized as Aldus - famously borne by the Renaissance printer Aldus Manutius. The name kept steady currency in Italy and spread across Europe and the Americas in the 20th century through migration and cultural exchange, gaining modest use in English- and Spanish-speaking countries.

Meaning centers on age-linked wisdom, yielding senses such as “wise” or “elder.” Some traditions also connect it with the adal “noble” element found in related Germanic names. Variants and related forms include Aldus, Aldino (Italian diminutive), and the feminine Alda and Aldina; cognates built on the same root include Aldric and Alden. Notable modern bearers include Aldo Moro, Aldo Leopold, and Aldo Rossi.
