A masculine given name, typically of Spanish or Portuguese origin, used throughout the English-speaking world.
From the Germanic elements 'adal' (noble) and 'winthi' (joy), which entered Iberian languages through Gothic influence. The name evolved in Spanish as 'Alfonso' before becoming anglicized as Alonzo.
The Alonzo name traces back to Gothic kings who conquered the Iberian peninsula, making it a name that literally means 'noble joy'—which is why there have been many Saint Alonzos in Spanish history.
