Loys is a name of French origin, derived from the Germanic word "Hludovicus," which means "famous warrior." It was popular among royalty in medieval France, as it was borne by several French kings and nobility. In English-speaking countries, Loys may be less commonly known, but its unique sound and historical significance make it an intriguing choice for a first name.
Loys experienced a boom in popularity during the mid-1920s with 15 births recorded in 1919 and consistently high numbers between 1924 to 1927. However, it seems this trend did not continue into the later decades as there were fewer than ten births annually from 1930 onwards, with a significant gap of 18 years between records in 1938 and 1956.
