History & Origin

Alfonza varies Alfonso, a name carried by medieval kings of Spain and Portugal. Its Visigothic-Germanic roots pair an element meaning 'noble' with one read as 'ready', 'eager' or 'battle' — hence 'noble and ready'. Alfonza is an American spelling of that royal classic.

Alfonza has a faint record from around 1911, cresting about 1957 and gone by 2000 — only a few dozen boys a year at most. It reads as a mid-century name of a grandfather's generation, old-fashioned and unrevived.

Did you know? Alfonza reflects the American use of Alfonso and Alphonso in the early-to-mid twentieth century, especially in the South, with the -za ending giving the kingly name a homespun turn.
