A given name of Germanic origin, historically popular in European cultures and associated with Saint Aloysius.
From Germanic 'Alwig' or 'Alois,' combining 'ala' (all) and 'wīg' (war). The Latinized form 'Aloysius' became standard through Saint Aloysius of Gonzaga in the 16th century.
Saint Aloysius is the patron saint of young people and students, and he died at age 23—he's one of the few saints who actually represents the teenage experience in religious history.
