Aulden is a unique and distinctive given name of American origin. It is believed to have been coined by author Stephen King, who used it for a character in his 1977 novel 'The Long Walk'. The name has since gained popularity as a first name for boys, perhaps due to its literary connection or its appealing sound. Spelling variations include Auldon and Auldenne. As of now, it is not among the Social Security Administration's list of most popular baby names in the United States.
The name Aulden has seen fluctuations in popularity over the past century, with a notable increase in usage from 2014 onwards.
