Alphonso is a masculine name with Italian and Spanish origins, derived from the Germanic name Alfonso, which combines the elements 'adal' (noble) and 'funs' (ready, eager). This regal name was borne by numerous kings of Spain and Portugal, giving it aristocratic associations. Alphonso traveled to the English-speaking world through cultural exchanges but has remained moderately uncommon. It saw modest popularity in the United States during the early to mid-20th century before gradually declining. The name carries a dignified, somewhat romantic character with its flowing sounds and noble history. Today, Alphonso offers parents a distinctive choice with historical depth and Mediterranean flair.
