Elvis

• Gender：
• Pronounced： [ EL-vis ]
• Popularity：
• Usage：English

Meaning unknown. It could possibly be a derivative of ALVIS or ELWIN. More likely, it is from the rare surname Elvis, which is ultimately derived from the given name ELOISE. The name was brought to public attention by the singer Elvis Presley (1935-1977), whose name came from his father's middle name.

	ALVIS   male   Norse Mythology Means "all wise" in Old Norse. In Norse mythology this was the name of a dwarf who was to marry Thor's daughter Thrud. Thor was not pleased with this so he tricked Alvis by asking him questions until the sun rose, at which time the dwarf was turned into stone.
	ELWIN   male   English Variant of ALVIN.
		ALVIN   male   English From a medieval form of any of the Old English names ÆLFWINE, ÆÐELWINE or EALDWINE. It was revived in the 19th century, in part from a surname which was derived from the Old English names.
			?LFWINE   male   Anglo-Saxon Derived from the Old English elements ælf "elf" and wine "friend". This name was not commonly used after the Norman conquest.
			?DELWINE   male   Anglo-Saxon Derived from the Old English elements æðel "noble" and wine "friend". This name became rare after the Norman conquest. Saint Æðelwine was a 7th-century bishop of Lindsey, England.
			EALDWINE   male   Anglo-Saxon From the Old English elements eald "old" and wine "friend". This name was rarely used after the Norman conquest.
	ELOISE   female   English From the Old French name Héloïse, which is probably from the Germanic name Helewidis, composed of the elements heil "hale, healthy" and wid "wide". It is sometimes associated with the Greek word ‘ηλιος (helios) "sun" or the name Louise, though there is not likely an etymological connection. This name was borne in the 12th century by Saint Eloise, the wife of the French theologian Peter Abelard. She became a nun after her husband was castrated by her uncle. There was a medieval English form of this name, Helewis, though it died out after the 13th century. In the 19th century it was revived in the English-speaking world in the form Eloise.
