Noble friend or elf friend
Alvie is a diminutive form of names starting with the Germanic element 'alf' (elf) or 'adal' (noble), such as Alvin or Alva. It emerged as a standalone nickname-style name in the late 19th century. While historically more common for boys, its soft ending has led to occasional use for girls.
