Piusz

Piusz is a given name of Latin origin, derived from the Roman family name *Pius*. The name means "pious" or "devout." It has been borne by several popes of the Catholic Church, most notably Pius I, Pius II, Pius V, and Pius IX, each leaving a distinct mark on papal history. Beyond its religious associations, the name Pius has seen use in various European countries, though it is not as common as some other traditional names. The popularity of the name has fluctuated over time, often influenced by the prominence of individuals bearing it. Its enduring association with virtue and devotion contributes to its continued, albeit niche, presence in naming conventions. While not a widely adopted name globally, Piusz holds historical and cultural significance, particularly within Catholic traditions and certain European regions.
