Alpheus

Alpheus is a boy's name of Hebrew and Greek origin. Stemming from both roots, this name means “changing,” “traverse” or “exchange.” Whereas in Greek alone, it means “whitish” as well as “produce,” “gain,” or “profit.” Popular in the 19th century, Alpheus is considered a more unusual given name in current times. This may appeal to a parent seeking an under-the-radar given name for baby. Fresh and fun nicknames include Alph and Alfie, both adorable options for your little successor!
