Alvie
Boy name · 16 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Alvie: 16 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 5 births in 2024.
Alvie originates from the Scottish parish of Alvie in Inverness-shire, likely from the Gaelic "ailbhe," meaning "white rock" or "alpine meadow," giving it a strong sense of Highland landscape. As a given name, it is rare but distinctive, sometimes used as a short form of Alistair. One notable bearer was Alvie Mackintosh, a Scottish international rugby union player in the early 20th century. The name also shares its root with the village of Alvie in the Cairngorms National Park, a place of natural beauty. A further point: the Irish name Ailbhe has a similar sound but different meaning, relating to "elf" or "bright."
