Lois

Lois is a feminine name of French origin, derived from the Old Frankish name 'Chlodovicus', which is composed of the elements 'hlod' meaning 'famous' and 'wic' meaning 'warrior'.

The name Lois gained popularity in the English-speaking world due to its connection to the biblical character Lois, who was mentioned in the New Testament as the grandmother of Timothy. This association with the Bible helped to establish Lois as a popular name among Christians.

Despite its origins as a French name, Lois has been widely used in English-speaking countries for centuries. It is considered a classic and timeless name with a strong and confident feel.

While the meaning 'famous warrior' may seem at odds with the feminine nature of the name, it reflects the strength and resilience often associated with women who bear this name.
