British automotive company
Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings PLC is a British manufacturer of luxury sports cars and grand tourers. Its predecessor was founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford. Headed from 1947 by David Brown, it became associated with expensive grand touring cars in the 1950s and 1960s, and with the fictional character James Bond following his use of a DB5 model in the 1964 film Goldfinger. Their grand tourers and sports cars are regarded as a British cultural icon.

Alonso is a Spanish name of Germanic origin that is a Castilian variant of Adalfuns. The original Visigothic name Alfonso suffered the phonetic change of the phoneme /f/ into the mute /h/ in the Early Middle Ages, what eventually suppressed the sound /f/ from the name, deriving in the modern form Alonso. Due to the demographic particularities of the Iberian peninsula during the Middle Ages, this phonetic change was not uniform across the territory and the original form Alfonso also survived in different areas. Therefore, today both forms of the name coexist in Spanish speaking countries.
