Alvy is a unisex given name of Hebrew origin, meaning "clinging to God." It gained prominence as a boys' name during the mid-20th century but has since been used for both sexes. The name Alvy is known for its simplicity and uniqueness, making it an attractive choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful moniker.
The name Alvy has had a varied popularity throughout the years, with peaks occurring during World War I and immediately after, and again in the late 1940s to early 1950s. However, it seems to have fallen out of favor by the mid-20th century, with only five births recorded in 2021, over a hundred years since its first appearance on record. Overall, Alvy has been a relatively uncommon name, with a total of 301 babies given this name across the specified time period.
