Alonzo is Spanish in Origin.
Alonzo is the Anglicized form of Spanish Alonso, itself a medieval contraction of Alfonso, from the Visigothic Adalfuns (Latinized Adefonsus). The Germanic elements adal "noble" and funs "ready, eager" yield the meaning "noble and ready," often interpreted as "battle-ready." Long favored across the Iberian kingdoms, borne by many rulers of Leon, Castile, Aragon, and Portugal, the name entered wider European use and English via Spanish contact. Cervantes cemented the form through Don Quixote's given name, Alonso Quijano, and Alonzo gained steady currency in the United States from the 19th century.
Variants and cognates include Alonso (Spanish), Alfonso (Spanish/Italian), Afonso (Portuguese), Alfons (German, Dutch, Catalan, Scandinavian), and Alphonse (French). Diminutives and short forms include Lonzo, Lonnie, Al, Fonso, and Fonsi. Notable bearers include logician Alonzo Church and NBA Hall of Famer Alonzo Mourning.
