Aloys — boys' name

What the Data Says About Aloys

The Social Security Administration has registered 414 babies named Aloys between 1896 and 1949, spanning 54 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Aloys currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 1949. The name reached its historical peak in 1916, when 25 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Aloys performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 152 births during that ten-year window. Across the 6 decades of recorded activity, Aloys shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Minnesota, which accounts for 42 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Wisconsin and Missouri. In total, SSA state-level files list Aloys in 4 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Aloys in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 414 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
