The name Alvarez, as somebody already stated, is a name of visigothic origin that appeared originally in the central region of Asturias in northern Spain. The 'ez' termination is the equibalent of the english 'son', Alvarez then meaning 'the son of Alvar'. Alvar has its roots in the visigothic Alver. The first documented Alvarez family seems to be 'Alvarez de las Asturias' a noble family that lived in central Asturias and that dates back to the times that Spain was ruled by the Visigoths...other Alvarez branches appear throughout Spain but all seem to have some sort of connection to the original house of the Asturias branch.
