History & Origin
Aloise is a European feminine name linked to Aloisia and to Louise, the French feminine of Louis. The whole family traces to the Germanic Hludwig, 'famous warrior,' a name carried by kings and saints across the continent. Aloise appears in early American records among immigrant families, always a heritage form rather than a modern coinage.
It was never common in the United States, given to only about fifteen girls a year even at its peak in the nineteen-twenties, and it had all but vanished by mid-century. A girl named Aloise then would be from her great-grandmother's generation today.
