What is the meaning of the name Araldo ?

The baby name Araldo is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ah-RAHL-doh (Italian: /aˈraldo/).

Araldo is Italian in Origin.

Araldo is an Italian masculine name drawn from the common noun araldo, "herald," ultimately from Old French heraut and Frankish hariwald (hari "army" + wald "rule"). The underlying Germanic sense is "army ruler," while in Italian its everyday meaning evokes a ceremonial messenger or announcer. Though medieval in flavor, the given name is rare; it gained modest visibility in Italy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries amid neo-medieval tastes, borne by figures such as politician Araldo di Crollalanza (1892-1986).

Variants and cognates include Aroldo (the usual Italian form of Harold/Harald), Eraldo (influenced by Heraldo), Spanish and Portuguese Haroldo/Heraldo, English Harold, and German/Scandinavian Harald. Diminutives or nicknames may be Aldo or, regionally, Araldino. The name's imagery suggests a dignified bearer who announces news or leads the host - an appealing blend of eloquence and authority.
