An uncommon Germanic pick — distinctive and rare.
Aloys is a boy's baby name of Germanic origin, an older form of Aloysius, derived from the Provençal name Alois, which comes from the Germanic Chlodovech — the same root as Louis, meaning 'famous warrior.'
Aloys is the name of Aloys Senefelder, the German actor and playwright who invented lithography in 1796 — a name literally written into the history of printing. Rare and historically resonant, it suits parents who appreciate deeply unusual names with genuine pedigree.
Aloys has 32+ years of history in the U.S., first appearing in 1896.
