What is the meaning of the name Aleid ?

The baby name Aleid is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Dutch: /aˈlɛit/ (approx. "ah-LAYT").

Aleid is Germanic in Origin.

Aleid is a Dutch feminine given name, a medieval short form of Adelheid (Old High German Adalheidis), built from adal "noble" and heid "kind, quality," giving the sense "of noble nature" or "noble sort." It flourished in the Low Countries, where the Latinized Aleydis appears in charters and hagiography, and survives in modern Dutch usage as a crisp, historical choice.

In records from the 13th-15th centuries, bearers include Aleid van Holland (c.1230-1284), regent of Holland, and Aleid van Poelgeest (d.1392); the saint Aleydis (Alice) of Schaerbeek also reflects the name's reach. Variant spellings and cognates include Aleida, Aleyd, Aleit/Aleyt, Aleydis/Aleidis, Aletta, and Alette; broader equivalents are Adelheid (German), Adélaïde (French), Adelaide (English/Italian), Adelaida (Spanish), and Adelajda (Polish). Related forms such as Alice and Dutch diminutive Aaltje trace back to the same Adalheidis root.
