'''''Alfonso''''' ([[Italian language|Italian]] and [[Spanish language|Spanish]]), '''''Alfons''''' ([[Catalan language|Catalan]] and [[German language|German]]), '''''Afonso''''' ([[Portuguese language|Portuguese]]), '''''Affonso''''' ([[Portuguese language|Ancient Portuguese]]), '''''Alphonse''''' ([[French language|French]] and [[English language|English]]), '''''Alphons''''' ([[Dutch language|Dutch]]), or '''''Alphonso''''' ([[English language|English]] and [[Filipino language|Filipino]]) is a [[masculine]] name, originally from the [[Gothic language]].

The original meaning of the name is uncertain. It could be derived from ''adal'' "noble" and ''funs'' "ready" or from the name '''''Hildefuns''''', which is preserved in the Spanish and Portuguese '''''Ildefonso''''' ([[Latin]]ised as ''Ildephonsus'') and means "battle ready" (''hild'' "battle" combined with ''funs'' "ready").

It is the name of many historical personages and others:
