"Made for a mighty calling, Eligius is a masculine name of Latin origin. Flowing forth from the Latin verb eligo, Eligius translates to ""chosen,"" celebrating your little one's freedom to carve out a life of their very own. Baby Eli will share their name with Swiss Olympic cross-country skier Eligius Tambornino and Saint Eligius, the 7th-century patron saint of goldsmiths, metalworkers, and veterinarians. Whatever life path sweet Eligius opts to take, we're sure it will be a great one!"
