ALDEN-ALLEN PEDIGREE.
(OF SAMUEL ALLEN 2d, OF DUXBURY, WHO MARRIED SARAH PARTRIDGE.)
The name Allen, same as Alan or Allan, is derived, according to Julian, from Aland, a wolf-hound ; and Chaucer uses Aland in the same sense. Bailey derives it the same from the British. Camden thinks it a corruption from Aliania, which signifies "sunbright." From the same we have Allen, Allin, Alleyne. In the Gaelic Alinna signifies exceedingly fair, handsome, elegant, lovely. Irish, Aline, fair, beautiful.
