Elvis

Elvis is a masculine given name that gained widespread popularity due to the legendary American singer and actor Elvis Presley, who was born in 1935.

The exact origins of the name are unclear, but it is believed to be derived from an Old Germanic name or a variant of the Old English name Alfred, which means 'elf counsel.' Some sources also suggest a possible connection to the Old English name Aelfwine or the Irish name Ailbhe.

Before Elvis Presley's rise to fame, the name was relatively uncommon and obscure. However, his unprecedented success and iconic status in the music industry made the name Elvis a household name and a popular choice for baby boys, particularly in the United States and other English-speaking countries.

Today, the name Elvis is often associated with rock and roll music, charisma, and a unique personal style. It has become a timeless name that pays homage to one of the most influential cultural figures of the 20th century.
