Lluís

Lluís is a male given name used in Catalan-speaking communities, notably in Catalonia, the Balearic Islands, Valencia, and Andorra. It is the Catalan form of Louis, equivalent to Luis in Spanish and Louis in French.

The name derives from the Latin Ludovicus, itself from the Germanic Hludwig, meaning "famous in battle" or "famous warrior." In writing, it is typically spelled with a diaeresis over the i (Lluís) to indicate the separation of vowels; sometimes Lluis without diacritics is used in systems that do not support diacritics.

Notable people with the name include Lluís Companys (1882–1940), Catalan politician and President of the Generalitat of Catalonia; Lluís Domènech i Montaner (1850–1923), architect and politician; and Lluís Llach (born 1948), singer-songwriter and political activist. The name also appears in various historical and contemporary contexts within Catalan-speaking regions, reflecting its cultural and linguistic significance.
