Origin:British
Meaning:Elf; Counsel; Wise
Alfie is a male-given name deriving from the Old English "Aelfraed," meaning "elf," "counsel," and "wise." Like most leprechauns and fairies in old folklore, elves were considered supernatural beings with powers we mortals could only dream of. Using their magical abilities to teleport, warp reality, and move objects with the mind, it's no wonder this name is synonymous with wisdom. Although Alfie is the short form of noble "Alfred," this retro nickname also works well alone, giving off spunky vibes for the spirited baby.
