- Alfonso Meaning
- Spanish and Italian form of a Visigothic Germanic name, probably meaning "noble and ready", from the element adal "noble" combined with funs "ready". Other theories claim the first element is hadu or hild (see Ildefonso), both of which mean "battle". It is possible that two or more names merged into a single form. This was the name of six kings of Portugal and kings of several ancient regions of Spain. Alfonso originates in Germanic languages and means "noble and prepared". As a masculine given name it used to be very popular mainly within Spanish royalty. In modern times, the name itself sounds old-fashioned and its usage is rather rare.
