MEANING & HISTORY
What does Alfabeto mean?
The historical dictionary of the University of Barcelona records Spanish alfabeto as a borrowing from Latin alphabetum, formed from the Greek letter names alpha and beta. Independently, the election transcription records Alfabeto in a given-name field.
This permits an explicitly scoped word reading, not a claim that a family chose the name because of the alphabet.
