Eldrege Origin and Meaning

The name Eldrege is a boy's name.

Eldrege is an uncommon masculine name with Germanic and Old English origins. It appears to be a variant spelling of Eldridge or Eldred, names derived from the Old English elements "eald" (old) and "ric" (power, rule), meaning "old ruler" or "wise ruler." The name carries a distinguished, somewhat aristocratic quality. Eldrege has never been widely used but occasionally appeared in Anglo-Saxon regions and later in America. It has the feel of an ancestral surname that transitioned to first-name usage, common in certain periods of American naming traditions. The name projects strength and wisdom while maintaining an unusual, distinctive character that sets it apart from more common alternatives.
