Alfy

US Popularity Rank: 4671

Origin: German

Meaning: Elf or magical counsel; Wise; Ready for battle

Meet the enchanting Alfy, a masculine name for bringing a touch of magic to your life. This form of vintage Alfred has roots in Old English and Old German. Rarer than its cousin Alfie, its "y" ending has a friendly and down-to-earth feel. Alfy comes jam-packed with whimsical meanings, from "elf or magical counsel" and "wise" to "ready for battle." It's shared with Game of Thrones actor Alfie Allen, whose character Theon is certainly wiser with age. Pointed ears or not, your Alfy will have the courage of an ancient elven warrior and the wisdom to pick their battles!
