A proper name, historically associated with medieval Spanish rulers and scholars, particularly King Alfonso X; also used as a common noun for a type of mango variety.
A Spanish proper name from Germanic 'Alphonsus', containing 'adal' (noble) and 'funs' (ready/willing). The mango variety was named after the personal name, becoming a cultivar designation.
One of the coolest things: a medieval king's name became a fruit! Alphonso mangoes are prized as 'king of mangos'—so the name kept its royal association for 800 years!
