Notes:

English, German and Dutch. Italian in the Middle Ages.

ONC suggests Aloysius is derived from a Provençal version of Louis which is ultimately from Old German "famous warrior".

FreeREG has Aloysius as a Latinised version of Lewis [Irish] or Llewelyn [Welsh], used in old documents. Search on Aloysi* to cater for Latin endings.
