Lois is a girl’s name of Greek origin. What can be said of this iconic name? Lois is short and simple but possesses mighty influence and status due to its pop-culture significance. Meaning “superior” and “most beautiful,” Lois first appeared as a name in the New Testament. Centuries later, keen comic book fans and superhero film-goers will attest that naming baby Lois is in deference to the magnificent Lois Lane, a fictional character and love interest to DC Comic’s Superman. Confident, inquisitive, and intelligent, Lois Lane inspires and holds influence over the most powerful being in the world. Giving baby a name after this sassy lady is a true honor.
