Eloy

Eloy is a boy's baby name of Latin origin, the Spanish form of Eligius, meaning 'chosen' or 'elected' — from the Latin eligius, to choose or select. Saint Eligius (Saint Eloi) was a 7th-century bishop of Noyon, France, and patron saint of goldsmiths and metalworkers.

Widely used in Spain and Latin America, Eloy carries both religious heritage and a bright, distinctive sound that works well in English. In the United States, it appears primarily among Hispanic communities, where its three-letter punchy form has genuine appeal alongside longer traditional names.
