[ˈæl.wɪn]Meaning
from Old English æþel "noble" + wine "friend"
Background Story
Alwin is a contracted form of Adalwin, from Old High German Adalwin and Proto-West Germanic *Aþalawini, equivalent to adal "noble" plus wini "friend". The English name comes from Old English Æþelwine, from æþel "noble" and wine "friend", and partly merged with Ælfwine, literally "elf friend". It is used in Anglo-Saxon and English, and Wikipedia describes it as a German and Dutch form of Alvin.
