Alfie
Short for Alfred
Alfie is a male given name, a diminutive of Alfred.
It has seen renewed popularity in Britain since the early 2000s: Little Alfie's starting school next year.
The name gained cultural prominence through the 1966 British film about a charming womanizer, giving rise to the question What's it all about, Alfie? —now used to ask about the meaning or purpose of something.
