Hi Jennifer!
Thanks so much for babynames.com. I love to daydream about names, and your site is a treasure trove.
I’m also an avid reader, and I have been re-reading some of my childhood favorites, including the Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder. As you may know, Laura Ingalls married Almonzo Wilder. I became curious about the name Almonzo, but I don’t see it on your site. Do you know what it means?
Thanks so much,
Chelsea Rothschild
Dear Chelsea,
Thank you for your kind words. It’s always nice to hear from a fan! The name Almonzo is most likely a Spanish derivative of the Arabic name El-Mansur, which means “Victorious One.” We have added it to the BabyNames.com database.
Sincerely,
Jennifer
