Meaning & Origin of Aldonza
Meaning: Age/generation and battle.
Origin: Spanish (from Vulgar Latin/Gothic).
A common claim: Widely glossed as meaning 'sweet,' partly because it's Dulcinea's real name in Don Quixote. Actually: Incorrect -- the name derives from Germanic roots for 'age/generation' and 'battle,' not 'sweet' (which is instead the literal meaning of 'Dulcinea').
