The meaning of Allday

1. English: in most cases probably from the Middle English female personal name Ald(i)eth, Aldith, Old English Ealdgȳth. Alternatively, perhaps either from the rare Old English personal name Ætheldæg or from one of two ancient Germanic names, Aildag and Adaldag, imported to England from France by the Normans. The ultimate etymology in both cases is ancient Germanic adal ‘noble’ + dag ‘day’. 2. Americanized form of German Aldag.
