Dutch name Aleida is shortened to Leida (also: Leide) as well as Aleid (extended spelling: Adelheid) and even to Aal (also: Ael)
In 18th century the i was often written ij.
So Aleida (newer spelling) equals Aleijda (older spelling).
Leide (newer spelling) equals Leijde (older spelling).
Aal (Ael) when a child is Aaltje (little Aal) - also Aeltje (older spelling: Aeltjen, or: Ältjen)
Leida (Leide) when a child is Leideken (little Leide)
