<p>»Alva« is the middle name of Thomas Alva Edison, who made electricity available to the public. And in Latin, »Alva« means Wisdom. We started Alva in August 2017 as an initiative at <a href="https://sinnerschrader.com" target="_blank">SinnerSchrader</a> and since then a quite small, but very powerful product design and engineering team is working hard on building and evolving the Alva app and its ecosystem. </p>

@mr94 We heard that Alva was used as a short form for "calva" in Latin, which means skull. That can be interpreted as wisdom. We’ll have a look at that again. Thanks!

Can't find any evidence for that.
