French, from the Latin Eligius

"the chosen"

Éloi Origin and Meaning

The name éloi is a boy's name meaning "the chosen".

While the Eloi spelling has traditionally been more common, Éloi has recently made appearances in the French Top 500. Its stylish El- beginning and softer sound make it an attractive choice for a baby boy, and while the accent on the E may be troublesome in some countries, it helps to differentiate the name from the Catalan or Spanish Eloi.
