It has been used a good deal in Wales, originally as an anglicization of Llewellyn (q.v.). The French spelling and pronunciation are now sometimes used, e.g. Robert Louis Stevenson. The Provençal form of the name was Aloys, and Aloisio was also sometimes used in Italy and Spain (see further Aloysius). See also Lodowick.
