[Facts] Re: Aleydis
Hi shangrila_la,Aleydis is a form of Adelheid (English form: Adelaide). When Adelheit got latinized, it became Adalheidis, and the contracted form is Aleidis (variant spelling: Aleydis). It could have happened the other way round as well: Aleid is a Low German short form of Adelheid. The latinized form of Aleid is Aleidis (variant spelling: Aleydis).The German pronunciation is: ah-LIE-dis./ Satuhttp://www.nordicnames.de/
