History & Origin

Alfonzia lengthens Alfonso or Alfonzo, from the Visigothic Adalfuns, 'noble and ready.' The added '-ia' ending reflects an American, often Southern, taste for giving established boys' names a fuller, more formal shape.

It stayed rare, given to only about fifteen boys a year at its peak around 1951 and thinning thereafter. A boy named Alfonzia then is a senior today.

Did you know? Alfonso, the parent of Alfonzia, was borne by a long line of Spanish and Portuguese kings, so this expanded American form carries a genuinely royal Germanic-Spanish pedigree.
