What does alpha mean in Greek?

Alpha (Α, α) is the first letter of the Greek alphabet. In Modern Greek, it is pronounced [ˈalfa]. It was derived from the Phoenician letter aleph, which represented a glottal stop. In the Greek numeral system, alpha has a value of 1.

In Greek culture, alpha is often used to symbolize the beginning or the first. For example, the alpha and omega (Ω, ω) are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, and they are often used to represent the beginning and the end.

Alpha is also used as a prefix in many English words, such as "alphabet," "alphabetical," and "alphabetize." These words all have to do with the order of the letters in the alphabet.
