        • Meaning:

          "height of religion; excellent in faith"
        • Description:

          We can't pretend that this name is not indelibly linked to the Disney's eponymous character, at least in the USA; but it's not a negative connotation and may appeal to you. Bosnian variation Aldin may be more wearable in the US, though.

        • Origin:

          English

The name can also be spelled without the first 'e', as in Gardner (born George Cadogan Gardner) McCay, a hunky TV heartthrob of the 1950s and 60s.

Though the character was in relatively few episodes, he made a big impression.
