Alves is a surname that appears to originate both from Portugal and Scotland (in Scotland where a variation of the name can appear as Alvis). It is debatable whether the surname appeared first in one country or the other, since it is more prevalent in Portugal, but registered as far back as the 13th century in the church records at Alves, Moray, Northern Scotland. If from Portugal, it will have originated from the Germanic patronym son of Álvaro (Alvar, Alvarus).
