Aladár is a Hungarian male given name of Germanic origin, which developed as a Hungarian adaptation of the German names Aldarik or Aldemar. Its meaning comes from Germanic words: adal or alda means "experienced" or "old," and ric means "powerful" or "famous." The name Aladár, like many other old Hungarian given names, gradually fell out of use by the end of the Middle Ages. Its revival and renewed popularity can be attributed to the 19th-century era of national romanticism, when interest in Hungarian history and culture led to the resurgence of many traditional names.

== In the Hungarian mythology == The name became known in Hungarian culture through medieval chronicles and legends about the Huns. According to the legend, Aladár was the son of Attila, King of the Huns, and Ildico, a German princess. After Attila's death, a power struggle arose between Aladár and his brother, Csaba. The conflict allegedly took place near Óbuda, where Aladár, with the help of his German allies, defeated Csaba's forces. However, Aladár himself also perished in the battle. These names, Aladár and Csaba, appear exclusively in the mythological narratives of Hungarian chronicles.
