Alvin Meaning
From a medieval form of any of the Old English names æLFWINE, æÐELWINE or Ealdwine. It was revived in the 19th century, in part from a surname which was derived from the Old English names. Alvin comes from the Old English word "Elfwine", which is a combination of two words, "elf" which means "elf", and "wine" which means "friend". In Latin, the name Alvin has a totally different meaning, that being fair skinned.
