Alfio Name Meaning and Origin
Alfio is of Italian origin and is traditionally used as a masculine given name. It is derived from the Latin name Alphius, which in turn may trace its roots to the Greek word alphios, meaning “white” or “pure.” Alfio is particularly popular in southern Italy and holds cultural and religious significance, especially due to its association with Saint Alfio, one of the three Christian martyrs celebrated in Sicily. The name reflects strength and purity, making it a meaningful choice for boys in Italian and other cultures influenced by Roman Catholic traditions.
