Aldrige is in Origin.

Aldrige is an English surname-turned-given name derived from the place-name Aldridge, built from Old English alor ‘alder (tree)’ + hrycg ‘ridge,’ giving the sense “alder ridge” or “ridge lined with alders.” The toponym points to a landscape feature rather than a personal epithet, and the name therefore carries a quiet, nature-rooted character.

As a surname, Aldridge appears in late medieval and early modern records across the Midlands; Aldrige is a streamlined spelling that surfaces intermittently. Use as a first name is modern, growing with the Anglo-American fashion for surnames as given names, and remains uncommon and largely masculine, though usable unisex. Close variants and relatives include Aldridge (standard form), Alridge, Alldridge, and Eldridge; note that Aldrich is a related but distinct Germanic personal name meaning “old/wise ruler.” Nicknames such as Al, Ridge, or Dri are plausible contemporary shortenings.
