Avalloc is Celtic in Origin.

Avalloc is a Brythonic name rooted in Welsh afal, “apple,” through the personal name Afallach and the toponym Afallon, “orchard/Isle of Apples,” later known in English as Avalon. In medieval spellings the form Avalloc (or Latinized Avallocus) reflects scribal attempts to render Welsh phonology, and the sense carried by the root is “of the apple trees,” evoking fruitfulness and the otherworldly abundance tied to Avalon.

In early Welsh tradition Afallach appears in genealogies as the son of Beli Mawr and father of Modron, a figure of the Otherworld; Arthurian writers subsequently linked him and his island to Avalon. The name itself saw little secular use historically and is a modern revival favored by myth and fantasy enthusiasts. Established variants include Afallach (Welsh), Avallach, Aballach, and Avallocus; related place-name forms are Afallon/Avalon. Feminine counterparts are uncommon but Afallon and Avalon sometimes serve in that role.
