Alden is an Old English name formed from "eald" (old) and "wine" (friend), originally meaning "old friend." Its roots also stretch into surnames and place-names, giving it a sturdy, slightly vintage feel. One of the most famous bearers is John Alden, a passenger on the Mayflower whose romance with Priscilla Mullins was immortalised in Longfellow's poem "The Courtship of Miles Standish." More recently, actor Alden Ehrenreich portrayed a young Han Solo in the 2018 film.
