I love the meaning of this name. It's actually a really clever thing to do, assuming there is an angel of death.

This name is also traditionally given to a child in hope that he will reach an old age (hence "alter").
When a baby was named after someone who died at a young age, the name Alter (or Alte for a girl) was added after the name of that person, in order to bring good luck to the baby. A baby named after an Aharon or a Golda who died young would be Aharon Alter (or Alter Aharon), or Golda Alte (Alte Golda).
