Alvina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alvina is a female given name, with the meaning "beloved". It is the feminine form of Alvin, which in turn comes from either the Old English name Ælfwine, containing the words ælf meaning "elf" and wine meaning "friend", or from the Old High German name Adelwin / Adalwin, meaning Noble Friend.
It is an uncommon name, which was invented in the 20th Century, and was initially very popular. Popularity waned after 1939, and now less than 0.001% of the British population is named Alvina. Diminutives of this name include Alvi, Alvy and Alwy.
