Eloise is a female given name, the English version of the French name Éloïse or Héloïse (French pronunciation: [e.lɔ.iz]). It is of uncertain meaning but may be derived from the Old German name Helewidis (German pronunciation: [hɛlɛˈviːdɪs]), which meant "healthy" and "wide". References are made also to the god Helios, referring the name to the sun. The name has increased in usage and ranked among the 100 most popular names for newborn girls in the United States in 2022. A Portuguese form of the name is Heloísa, which is currently among the most popular names for girls in Brazil. Heloisa is used in the Czech, German, and Slovak languages. The Italian version of the name is Eloisa and the Spanish version of the name is Eloísa.
