THE NAME ALDRED

The English surname 'Aldred' is derived from two germanic/english words. The 'Ald' part means 'old' or 'wise' and the 'red' means 'counsel'. [Thus Ethelred the unready was un-wise, not unprepared]. It appears in the Domesday Book in 1086 as 'Ailred' and 'Aldrel', and is taken to mean old or wise counsellor.

Early instances of the surname date back to the twelfth century and include the mention of one 'Rodger Aldredus' recorded in 1207 in the 'Pipe Rolls' for Devonshire. Another early recorded reference includes 'Magdalen Aldred' who married William Hawke in 1550 (London Marriage Licence). Another more famous person was Aldred, Achbishop of York (d. 1069), a diplomat sent to Germany by Edward the Confessor before the conquest, and who crowned William in 1066, and a later Roger Aldred was appointed attorney in the matter of the transfer of 10 acres of land in Winfarthing by the Duke of Norfolk, Treasurer and Marshal of England in 1533

Variants include Alldread, Alldril, Eldred, Aldried Alored and Alvard.
