Alfie-James: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2024.
Alfie-James is a modern compound name blending two classic English favourites. Alfie is a diminutive of Alfred, from the Old English *Ælfræd*, meaning "elf counsel" or "wise counsel." James is the English form of Jacob, from the Hebrew *Ya'aqov*, traditionally interpreted as "supplanter." The most famous Alfie is probably Alfie Bass, the English actor known for *The Army Game*, while James has countless notable bearers, including King James VI of Scotland, who also became James I of England. There is no direct place connection for the compound, though James has given its name to countless towns worldwide, such as Jamestown. This double-barrelled name has become increasingly popular in Scotland since the 1990s, reflecting a broader trend for combining traditional names to create a distinctive yet familiar choice.
