Álvaro or Álvar (Galician:[ˈalβɐɾʊ], Portuguese:[ˈalvɐɾu,ˈawvaɾu], Spanish:[ˈalβaɾo]) is a
Spanish,
Galician and
Portuguese male
given name and
surname (see
Spanish naming customs) of Visigothic origin. Some claim[who?] it may be related to the
Old Norse name Alfarr, formed of the elements alf "elf" and arr "warrior", but the absence of Visigothic names containing the particle "alf" or "elf" evident in Kremer's Onomastik suggests that it may come from other forms, like "all" and maybe "ward".[citation needed]
