Aldrin

Meaning of Aldrin

The name Aldrin is a distinctive and relatively rare choice for boys, with its roots steeped in modern history. Pronounced as AL-drin (/ˈæl.drɪn/) or AWL-drin (/ˈɔl.drɪn/), this name gained significant recognition through the famous astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, who was one of the first two humans to land on the moon during NASA's Apollo 11 mission in 1969. The name itself evokes a sense of adventure and pioneering spirit, making it an inspiring choice for parents seeking a unique yet meaningful name for their son. While not widely popular, Aldrin has maintained a consistent presence in the United States over the years, with occasional spikes in usage around notable historical events. A variation of this name is Alden, which shares similar phonetic qualities but offers a slightly different flair.
