Alphosina is Germanic in Origin.

Alphosina is a rare feminine given name best understood as a modern variant of Alfonsina/Alphonsina, the female form of Alfonso/Alphonso. The name ultimately goes back to a Visigothic-Germanic compound, adal “noble” + funs “eager, ready,” transmitted into medieval Iberia and then Latinized as Alphonsus. Through Spanish and Italian usage the feminine Alfonsina emerged; the spelling with ph reflects scholarly Latin influence, while the -osina shape in Alphosina likely arises by analogy to Alphonso and simplified pronunciation.
