Alfonsina

Alfonsina is a feminine given name of Spanish origin. It is derived from the masculine name Alfons or Alfonso, which is ultimately derived from the Germanic elements "adal" meaning noble and "funs" meaning ready for war. Therefore, the name Alfonsina means "noble and ready for war." The name Alfonsina has a long history, particularly in Spain where it has been used for centuries. It was popular during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, often given to royal or noble daughters due to its regal connotation. One of the most notable historical figures with this name is Alfonsina Strada, an Italian cyclist who won the Women's World Hour Record in 1932.
