I don't know about the origin of Aldine, but it is unusual here
in the U.S. as well. Or at least I've never known anyone by that
name.

| 78.2 | just thought I'd mention it. | 9404::AHART | | Fri Feb 06 1987 17:07 | 4 |

There is a famous cheescake place called Aldine Merrill.
I'm not exactly sure how she really spells the name, but
she does make great cakes.

| 78.3 | I found this | HUMAN::BURROWS | Selma Burrows | Wed Mar 04 1987 20:49 | 11 |
| From Dictionary of First Names.
Aldine, Aldyne - Variant forms of Alda. See Alda.
Alda - From the Old German, meaning "old". Aude is a variant
form used in twelfth-century England. Variant forms: Aldona,
Aldina, Aldine, Aldyne, Aleda. Aldo and Aldous are masculine
forms.

| 78.4 | Thanks | 42082::TIERNEY | | Fri Mar 06 1987 13:42 | 8 |
| Thanks very much!
Presumably this book is a US publication. Certainly most of the
other names listed in this entry are listed in our UK babyname books
but nowhere have I seen Aldine before.
Thanks very much

| I found the male version, Alden. It's old english: "old friend,
protector". var. and dim. Al, Aldin, Aldwin, Aldwyn, Elden, Eldin.

| 78.6 | I know an Alden! | HYEND::JRHODES | | Thu Jun 16 1988 17:54 | 4 |
| My younger sister is dating an ALDEN - I always liked his unusual
name.
She sometimes calls him Ald or Aldie...

I've found out that there's a town in New York state called Aldine.
Also there are two streets in London called Aldine Street and Aldine
Place. I aim to write to the local authorities to find out the origin
of these. Also, Aldine is an adjective referring to italic text
because italics were invented by some Italian name of Aldo or similar.
