After his death, he became one of the most popular saints in history, and his name has been widely used as a given name ever since.
In France, the name Aloysius was popularized by King Louis XIV's younger brother, the Duke of Orleans, who was named Louis-Aloysius. This contributed to the spread of the name throughout Europe during the 17th century.
