From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

ALPHRAMAN: Alfarez, Span., an ensign. According to Halliwell, this term is used by Ben Jonson and Beaumont and Fletcher; and Nares, on the authority of Harl. M.S. 6804, affirms that it was in use in our army during the civil wars of Charles I. It is therefore possible that Alphraman may be equivalent to the old corrupt "ancient," or ensign. The reader will doubtless call to mind the "Ancient Pistol" of Shakspeare.
