      The name Aroldo is of Italian and Spanish origin, deriving from the Germanic name Harold, which translates to eagle ruler or commander.

Its Germanic predecessor Harold gained popularity with historical figures such as King Harold II of England, who played a significant role during the Norman Conquest in 1066. Over time, the name Aroldo emerged in Italian-speaking regions and in Spanish-speaking cultures, often appearing in literary works and among nobility, thereby reinforcing its connotations of leadership and valor.
