Éloi

Popular in France and Spain, especially in Catalunya, Éloi is a masculine name of Latin origin meaning "chosen." It comes from the name Eligius, after Saint Eligius, a sixth-century goldsmith turned bishop known for helping the less fortunate. Eligius is the patron saint of horses, as well as the patron saint of goldsmiths, metalworkers, coin collectors, and many more. Your little one can proudly tell their friends about their saintly links and why they should refer to Éloi as the "chosen one."
