Alvona

Alvona is a rare feminine name with uncertain origins. It may be a variant of Alvina, which derives from the Old German elements 'alf' meaning 'elf' and 'win' meaning 'friend'. Alternatively, it could be related to Alvin or Alvin with a feminine ending. The name has never been widely popular in English-speaking countries, remaining quite uncommon throughout recorded naming history. Alvona carries a vintage, somewhat mysterious quality with its melodic sound pattern. Some parents might be drawn to it precisely because of its distinctiveness and the fact that a child named Alvona is unlikely to meet many others sharing her name.

Pronounced al-VO-nah.
