Origins
En cuanto a Valdeolmos, no ofrece ninguna duda, el nombre es de procedencia castellana, y procede de la corrupción de la expresión Valle de Olmos, en clara referencia a su situación física, entre los arroyos El Casar y Calderón y con gran abundancia de olmos. El nombre de Alalpardo es de procedencia árabe, y obedecería a la denominación Aldea el Pardo, utilizada durante los siglos XVI y XVII y que vendría a significar: población pequeña en tierra de labranza de color oscuro.
