History & Origin
Elridge is a variant of the surname Eldridge, itself from the old given name Aldrich, old ruler. Carried into American first-name use, this trimmed spelling appeared only rarely, around 1925.
It was never common, given to only about twenty boys a year at most, and it had faded by the nineteen-nineties. A boy named Elridge then would be about a hundred today. It reads as an old surname-name rather than a modern choice.
