Lewis

Lewis is the English folding of Louis, from the Frankish Hludwig, through hlud, famous, and wig, battle. It belongs to Carroll, who wrote Alice down the rabbit hole; to C.S. Lewis, who built Narnia behind a wardrobe; to John Lewis, who walked across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. A name carried by writers and conscience. In the U.S. it has slowly climbed back from mid-century obscurity and now sits near 433, more familiar in the U.K. where it never really left. Two syllables, a soft opening, a quietly confident close. Lewis reads scholarly, kind, and understated, a gentleman's name.
