| ALWIN. An
Anglicized form of Anglo-Saxon Ælfwine
(q.v.), meaning "elf friend." Also spelled Alvin,
Alvyn, Elvin,
and Elwin.
(British Family Names, Barber, 1903). Some authors make it a Saxon name meaning
"all victorious," i.e. "all-winning." (English
Surnames, Lower, 1844).
ALWIN. Welsh
name meaning
"fair, handsome" and "bright, clear, lucid." (Warwickshire
Place Names, Duignan, 1912)
... On this river Leven, at
Balloch, was the seat of Alwin, first earl of Lennox. It is
probable that he was of Celtic descent, but the records are silent as to
his part in history; that he was earl at all is only proved from the
charters of his son, another Alwin, and he died some time before
1217. The second Alwin was father of ten sons, one of whom
founded the clan Macfarlane, famous in the annals of the district, while
another was ancestor of Walter of Farlane, who married the heiress of
the 6th earl of Lennox... (Encyclopedia Britannica, Chisholm, 1911)
