Origin: Germanic

Meaning: "noble" or "ready for battle"

The name Alphonse is derived from the Old Germanic name Adalfuns, which is composed of the elements "adal" (noble) and "funs" (battle-ready). It was commonly used among the Visigoths, a Germanic people who ruled over parts of the Iberian Peninsula from the 5th to the 8th centuries.

The name was introduced to France by the Visigoths and became popular among the Frankish nobility. It was later adopted by the Normans, who brought it to England in the 11th century. The spelling of the name evolved over time, from Adalfuns to Alfuns to Alphonse.

In modern times, the name Alphonse is still used throughout Europe, particularly in France, Spain, and Portugal. It is also found in English-speaking countries, although it is less common than other Germanic names such as William or Robert.
