if Old NorseAldeigja is original, from Finnish*Alodejoki, meaning "lower river"; this would require the name to have originally referred to the river.
from Old Norse*Aldauga, from Proto-Germanic*aldaz(“old”) + *augô(“eye”), thus "old source/spring" (as the word for "eye" is used to mean "water source" or "water spring" in e.g. some Icelandic and Estonian words).
