Aldwinus is English in Origin.

Aldwinus is the medieval Latinized form of a Germanic personal name, recorded in charters with the -us ending. In England it usually represents Old English Ealdwine (eald "old" + wine "friend"), yielding the sense "old friend" or "trusted friend." On the Continent scribes sometimes used Aldwinus for Adalwin/Adalwinus (adal "noble" + win "friend") or for Altwin/Alwin (alt "old" + win "friend"), so the underlying meaning may be either "old friend" or "noble friend," depending on the bearer's vernacular form.

Use peaks in the 11th-13th centuries among clerics and landholders; one notable bearer is Aldwin(us), the monastic leader who helped refound Jarrow and Monkwearmouth in Northumbria after the Norman Conquest. Variants include Aldwin, Aldwyn, Alduin, Alwin, Alwyn, Ealdwine, and Adalwin; feminine medieval forms such as Aldwina also occur. In modern naming, Aldwinus is rare, with Aldwin/Aldwyn and Alwin more approachable descendants.
