Inherited from Late Latin Alvarus, from Spanish-Visigothic. The Germanic proper name consists of two parts. The first part may stem from Proto-Germanic *allaz (“all”) or *aþalaz (“noble”). The second part may stem from Proto-Germanic *wardō (“protection, lookout”). However, there exist other etymologies.
