With German and Latin origins, Aloysius is a traditional yet underused name meaning “famous in war” or “famous warrior.” This cool name is the Latin version of many names, such as Louis, Luigi, Luis, and even Ludwig! For Catholic name seekers, you are also in luck with Aloysius. It was the name of the saint who died treating those affected by an epidemic and therefore gives the name a symbol of caring and compassion. Though technically he is the saint of Roman Catholic youth, his deeds held a deeper significance that far surpassed just the youth. For a more unique name that has traveled far and wide, Aloysius is the ideal choice.
