ALVAR
Alvar: translation
Alvar m
English: from a medieval English name, representing an Old English personal name, Ælfhere, composed of the elements ælf elf, supernatural being + here army, warrior. In modern use it is either a revival of this (or a transferred use of the surname derived from it) or an Anglicized form of the Spanish ÁLVARO (SEE Álvaro). A name of the same form is also in occasional use in Scandinavia, in which case it derives from an Old Norse personal name cognate with the Old English form quoted above.
