Variant of the name "Alvin", which originates from a medieval form of both the Old English names ÃLFWINE and ÃÃELWINE.
"ælf" meaning 'elf' or 'supernatural being' &
"wine" meaning 'friend'.
The name has been popularised in modern times by the kick ass chipmunk. This & variants of the name are oft given to guys who are destined to draw the adulation of many young pretty women from all over the world, just as Alvin the chipmunk still does today.
