Meaning & History
This is an old Hungarian name of Turkic origin. "Alp" means "Stouthearted", "Brave", "Chivalrous", or "Valorous". The second part, "er" means "soldier" or "male". In the early modern period, this name was conflated with Albert, and as such became the Hungarian version of that name.
