[Facts] Aldys
My husband's Sweedish and German grandmother (78) is named Aldys. She doesn't know where it's from, and it's not on this site. Does anyone have any info on Aldys?

Hi ElleMichelle,
There's a Swedish name Aldis. It's a short form of Alfdis:

In Norway, Aldis can be a variant form of Halldis:

I found the name Aldis. Aldis is derived from Alde. Alde is shorter from of a name with 'ald' or 'adel'.
'Ald' is a Germanic element meaning 'old' or 'experienced, grown'.
'Adel' is a Germanic element as well. This means 'noble'.
