Meaning: Ready for battle

Alfonse is a boy’s name that exists in varied forms, including Alfonso and Alphonse. The Italians and the Spanish love it so much, that one would think of the moniker as their conception. But in fact, it was taken from Old German. By its very definition then, “ready for battle,” what Alfonse does best, is prepare baby for whatever life has in store for them. Come thick or thin, with this name in hand, they will always find ways to power through, and perhaps even lead the way.
