HelpRe: Almanzo
in reply to a message by noisynora
Little House On The Prairie. The previous was my first thought but I do like the name Almanzo. It’s different but uncomplicated.

yes, exactly ...
I wonder if it might be a name unique to Almanzo wilder's family. In "Little Town on the Prairie" when he and Laura are just getting to know each other, he says that Almanzo is a family name, because supposedly a Wilder ancestor had been on one of the Crusades and an Arab saved his life along the way, and this Arab's name was something like Al-Manzoor.
I sure have never seen it anyplace else.
It's a cool sounding name, actually, just totally linked to Wilder.
If I wanted a very similar sound but a less unique name I'd pick Alonzo or Alfonso.
