Alvon is a distinctive and uncommon given name of American origin, derived from the Old English word 'ælfwine', which translates to 'elf friend'. It fell out of usage during the Middle Ages but has seen a resurgence in recent years as parents seek unique names for their children.
The name Alvon experienced peaks and valleys over the century, with the highest years being 1937 (10 births) and 1969 (9 births). It had periods of more frequent usage from 1917 to 1923, then again from 1966 to 1979, before tapering off towards the end of the century.
