Nalder is a surname of Anglo-Saxon origin that can be traced back to medieval England. The name is believed to have derived from the Old English word "aldor," meaning ruler or head.

The Nalder family name is primarily found in the southwestern counties of England, notably in Devon and Cornwall. Over the centuries, members of the Nalder family have been involved in various occupations, including agriculture, trade, and local governance.

Notable individuals bearing the surname Nalder have made significant contributions in their respective fields, although the family name may not be widely recognised outside of certain regions in the UK.

Genealogical studies suggest that the Nalder surname has maintained a relatively small but distinct presence in British history, reflecting a lineage rooted in the country's rich heritage.

As with many surnames, variations in spelling such as Naldar or Naulder can be found due to historical differences in pronunciation and the lack of standardised spelling conventions in earlier times.

In contemporary Britain, the Nalder surname continues to be passed down through generations, serving as a link to the family's ancestry and the traditions associated with it.

There are approximately 169 people named Nalder in the UK. That makes it one of Britain's least common surnames. Only around three in a million people in Britain are named Nalder.
