The origins of the surname "Alcoser" can be traced back to Spain. It is a patronymic surname derived from the old Spanish given name "Alonso", which ultimately comes from the Germanic name "Hlodowig" (sometimes spelled as "Chlodovech"), composed of the elements "hlud" meaning "fame" or "loud", and "wig" meaning "war". Over time, as surnames started being passed down through generations, the suffix "-er" was added to "Alonso", giving birth to "Alcoser" as a surname.
