What does Alvina mean?
Elf-friend, friend of supernatural beings
In Turkish: elf dostu, doğaüstü varlıkların dostu
This interpretation of Alvina joins friendship with the elf imagery of early Germanic traditions. The historical word elf is only approximately equivalent to a fairy in modern usage. Alvina is related in form to Alvin, though similarly spelled European names need not all share the same history.
The ending “-na” is a common final sound in names such as Lina, Mina and Alina, not a suffix with one shared meaning. Each name has to be considered individually. More girl names ending in -na →
