Aloysius
Aloysius (/ˌæloʊˈɪʃəs/ AL-oh-ISH-əs) is a given name. It is a Latinisation of the names Alois, Louis, Lewis, Luis, Luigi, Ludwig, and other cognate names (traditionally in Medieval Latin as Ludovicus or Chlodovechus), ultimately from Frankish *Hlūdawīg, from Proto-Germanic *Hlūdawīgą ("famous battle"). In the US, the name is rare, with babies receiving the name less than 0.001% since the 1940s and mainly among Roman Catholics, according to Social Security Administration data.[1]
