Aldrin
Meaning of Aldrin
Rooted in the Old High German elements ald, meaning “old, wise,” and ric, signifying “ruler,” the name Aldrin conveys a sense of venerable authority and measured sagacity. Historically rare yet persistently extant within Anglo-American naming practice, it has appeared in U.S. Social Security Administration registers since the late 1960s, typically ranking between the 660th and 920th positions and recording annual occurrences in the low double digits. Its most enduring cultural resonance derives from astronaut Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, whose pivotal role in the 1969 Apollo 11 lunar mission imbues the name with associations of pioneering enterprise, technical rigor and stoical resolve. Employed sparingly, Aldrin retains a distinctive profile that marries historical depth with modern aspirational nuance, offering parents a masculine appellation at once uncommon and resonant.
