About Aldous
Aldous has long been associated with British writer Huxley, author of Brave New World. So many of these rare British names are starting to be reconsidered by the literary or hipster crowds and this one, considering its pedigree, deserves the renewed interest.
Aldus is a spelling variation. Huxley is much more popular than Aldous these days, used for nearly 350 baby boys last year (and 50 girls) vs. only seven named Aldous.
Pronounced AL-dus.
As of October 2026, Aldous ranked #8275 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #4415 in 1969.
