Alfred is an old Germanic name meaning wise counsel. Alfred comes from Ælfræd which is Old English. It literally means Elf (Ælf) Council (Ræd). The Elves were wise supernatural beings, so to have their advice would make it "wise council".

What does surviving issue of beneficiary mean?

Consider this example: if Mr Smith (born 1943) had one child, Alfred b. 1965, and Alfred had 2 children Beatrice b. 1989 and Clive b. 1994 - Beatrice & Clive being Mr. Smith's grandchildren - assuming Alfred, Beatrice & Clive were alive at Mr. Smith's death and Alfred was named (for ease of explanation) the sole beneficiary. If on Mr. Smith's death in 2000, his will had a clause 'surviving issue of [my] beneficiary'... this would mean Beatrice and Clive as they were the issue of Alfred who were alive on the date of Mr. Smith's death.
