Aloysius Origin and Meaning

The name Aloysius is a boy's name of Latin origin meaning "famous warrior".

This name is a classic example of an underused golden oldie that ticks so many boxes - unusual yet traditional, heaps of cute nicknames, a statement name that exudes retro cool. Aloysius is the Latin form of many more common names like Louis, Luis, Luigi and the uncommon but symphonically familiar Ludwig.

Aloysius is familiar to Catholic name seekers as the name of the saint who died treating those afflicted by a pandemic, and is therefore a symbol of selfless caring - a worthy namesake in these somewhat egocentric times.

Aloysius was historically common in Ireland, and is occasionally passed down in Irish families today. The feminine form is Aloysia.
