Elvis
Meaning of Elvis
The name Elvis, pronounced EL-vis (/ˈɛlvɪs/), is a distinguished male name with roots in Old English and Scandinavian origins, meaning "all-wise" or "noble." The name gained monumental fame due to the iconic American singer and actor Elvis Presley, often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll." This association has made the name synonymous with charisma, musical talent, and cultural influence. Despite its strong historical ties, the popularity of Elvis as a baby name has seen fluctuations over the decades in the United States. It reached its peak during the mid-20th century, particularly in 1957 when it ranked 311th. In recent years, however, its usage has become less common but remains a classic choice for parents seeking a name with both historical significance and distinctive flair. Variations of the name include Elvin, which offers a slight twist while retaining its noble essence.
