Alvina is in Origin.
Alvina is the feminine form of Alvin/Alwin, built from early Germanic elements centered on win/wine 'friend.' It is traced either to Old High German Adalwin or Albwin (adal 'noble' + win 'friend') or to Old English Aelfwine (aelf 'elf' + wine 'friend'), giving readings of 'noble friend' or 'elf-friend'.
Related forms appear in medieval England and on the Continent, but the expressly feminine Alvina/Alwina flourished as a Victorian revival and saw modest U.S. use around 1880-1915 before fading. Variants include Alwina (German, Scandinavian), Alvine (French), Alvena and Elvina in English; short forms Alvie, Allie, Vina, and Vinnie. Cognate or masculine partners are Alvin, Alwin, Elvin, and Elwin. With its antique lilt and friendly meaning, Alvina suits parents seeking a rarer vintage choice.
