History & Origin

Aldene is a coined girls' name from the early twentieth century, built on a bright Al- opening and a soft -dene close. It may also nod to Alden, an Old English name for an 'old friend.' The origin is not firmly documented, so we present it as a period coinage rather than assign it a confident single root.

Aldene was always rare, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak around 1923, and it had faded by mid-century. A woman named Aldene then would be past a hundred today.

Did you know? Names ending in -ene and -dene, like Aldene, Arlene, and Maudine, were a small early-century fashion that dressed simple sounds in a soft, feminine ending.
