First name origin & meaning: Teutonic: Mighty First name variations: Waldan, Waldi, Waldin, Waldo, Waldon, Waldy, Welti, Walden Last name origins & meanings:
- German and English: topographic name for someone who lived in
or near a forest (Old High German wald, northern Middle English
wald).
- Jewish (Ashkenazic): ornamental name from German
Wald ‘forest’. Very few Jews would have been living anywhere
near a forest at the time when they acquired surnames, so as a Jewish
name its origins are unlikely to be topographic.
