Lewes

Lewes is a boy’s name with Welsh, English, and German roots. It is both an alternative spelling of the name Louis and a variation of Llewellyn. Louis comes from the German name Ludwig, meaning “fierce in battle” and “famous warrior.” Louis was the name of many European monarchs throughout history, and more recently, jazz legend Louis Armstrong made the name proud in the 20th century. Llewellyn is a Welsh name derived from the Celtic Lugubelinos, which stems from the name of a Celtic god, the powerful Lugus. Whichever origin you prefer, baby Lewes will surely be a mighty cute addition to your family, with plenty of namesakes to look up to.
