Meaning & origin
Aloise is an extremely rare name in the United States, first recorded in 1914, when it had its peak usage. It has never appeared in the top 1,000 names and has remained consistently uncommon, with a stable trajectory through 2025. The name's 1-in-N ratio is essentially zero, as its frequency is too low to estimate meaningfully. Despite its scarcity, Aloise has never entirely disappeared, appearing sporadically over the decades. It is not associated with any particular state or region, as top states data is unavailable. This rarity makes Aloise a distinctive choice for parents seeking a name that is both traditional and obscure, though its uncertain etymology and pronunciation may require explanation.
Aloise is a rare name that appears to be a modern respelling or feminine variant of Alois or Aloysius. Aloysius derives from the Old French name Louis and is often associated with Saint Aloysius Gonzaga. The name has been used occasionally in English-speaking countries since the early 20th century, but its exact derivation remains unclear.
