The genus comprises about 35 species of monoecious trees and shrubs, a few reaching a large size, distributed throughout the north temperate zone with a few species extending into Central America, as well as the northern and southern Andes. The common name ""alder"" evolved from Old English ""alor"", which in turn is derived from Proto-Germanic root ""aliso"". The generic name ""Alnus"" is the equivalent Latin name.
