Fans of dystopian literature will travel courageously into the past or future for a name as epic as Aldous. Of Old English and Old German origin, this boy's name carries two very intriguing meanings. Deriving from the Old English element eald, or the Old German adal, Aldous translates to "old" or "noble." It will, of course, bring to mind English writer Aldous Huxley, author of Brave New World. Whether or not your little angel has a talent for the written word, they're sure to get creative when painting, drawing, or imagining far-away worlds.
