ArchivesRe: An anternative origin for Aleydis
in reply to a message by Palas Alea
Hi there! I really like the name Aleydis and was unable to find ANY information on it, even when I did an internet search. There was a character named Aleydis in the book GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING and that's where I heard it. It's interesting to hear that it's common in Spain! I even asked a close friend who was born and raised in Germany but now lives in Austria, and she said she'd never heard of the name. Interesting since it has English/Dutch roots (maybe?). Sorry this wasn't of much help!

Same here - I read the book and loved that name - in real life a daughter of vermeer was named Aleydis, which made me think maybe it was a Dutch name. All these comments have been very helpful!

Oh, it was of help. I didn't know there was a character called Aleydis in that book (a friend of mine recommended me that book but she didn't mention this fact). Gotta check it out!
That's an evidende of the Dutch origin of the name, I think. Thanks! ;)
