Alwine is a historic female given name of Germanic origin, derived from the elements 'alw' meaning 'noble' and 'win' meaning 'friend'. It was popular during the Middle Ages in Germany but has since become quite rare. The name Alwine is often associated with Saint Alwine, a 9th-century nun who founded the Benedictine monastery of Obernburg in Wurzburg, Germany.
"Alwine was a relatively uncommon name during this period, with only 25 recorded births between 1887 and 1896."
