History of the origin of the name Alfia

The name Alfia has several origins.

The first version goes back to Hellenic times. It is believed that the name Alfia is derived from the first letter of the Greek alphabet – “alpha”, and is translated as “first”, “only”. In some areas of the ancient Greek state, the first-born girl was called this way.

The second version claims that the roots of the name Alfiya should be sought in Arabic languages. Here it is interpreted ambiguously. Some sources say that Alfia is translated as “the one who will live 1000 years”, “long-liver”, “not afraid of time”. According to legend, Alfies live to a ripe old age, maintaining youthful vigor and a sound mind. Other sources translate the name Alfia as “exalted.” Still others give a completely romantic interpretation of the name; it is translated as “a poem of a thousand lines.”

It is likely that the name Alfiya is a feminine version of the male Muslim name Alfir – “close to Allah.” It may sound like Alpia or Alpiyat.

The name Alfiya is popular in Muslim countries, and where people who profess Islam live. In Russia it is rare.
