Luis is a given name. It is the Spanish form of the originally Germanic name Script error: No such module "Lang". or Script error: No such module "Lang"., which were introduced to the Iberian Peninsula during its occupation by the Visigoths. Other Iberian Romance languages have comparable forms: Script error: No such module "Lang". (with an accent mark on the i) in Portuguese and Galician, Script error: No such module "Lang". in Catalan and Script error: No such module "Lang". in Aragonese, while Script error: No such module "Lang". is archaic in Portugal, but common in Brazil.

Origins

The Germanic name Script error: No such module "Lang". (and its variants) is usually said to be composed of the words for "fame" (Template:Wikt-lang) and "warrior" (Template:Wikt-lang) and hence may be translated to famous warrior or "famous in battle".[1][unreliable source?] According to Dutch onomatologists however, it is more likely that the first stem was Script error: No such module "Lang"., meaning fame, which would give the meaning 'warrior for the gods' (or: 'warrior who captured stability') for the full name.[2]

Modern forms of the name are the German name Ludwig and the Dutch form Lodewijk. Script error: No such module "Lang". and the other Iberian forms more closely resemble the French name Louis, a derivation of the Latinized form Clovis, known from the kings of the Franks. The sanctified French king Louis IX (Saint Louis) contributed much to the popularity of the name.
