Alois

Alois is a name commonly given to boys that stems from the medieval Aloysius, derived from the German name Ludwig which means 'famous warrior.' Another possible origin of Alois is from the German Alwis, rendering the meaning of Alois as 'all wise' or 'very wise.' The latter, however, is not a proven origin; therefore, it is best to associate Alois with Ludwig. 
Although Alois is not a popular first name, it makes for a charming middle name when paired with a contemporary choice of a first name. Most of the renowned personalities bearing this name lived between the 18th and 20th centuries, most notably Alois Alzheimer, a German neuropathologist and psychologist credited with the discovery of the neurodegenerative Alzheimer's disease. The famous Austrian actor and former governor of California, Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger, has Alois as his middle name. Given its cultural origin, Alois is a name primarily given to boys of German, Austrian, Czech, and Swiss descent. Modern variants of this name include Aloys (German), Alojz (Slovak, Slovenia), Alojzy (Polish), and Louis (French, English).

Lucky

Alois lucky number is 2.

Within numerology, the 2 vibration assumes the role of the mediator, creating harmony by bringing together dissonant forces through compassion, empathy, and kindness. 2 is linked to psychic abilities and intuition, and if this number appears as a Life Path or Destiny Number, the individual will be astute to subtle energy shifts and emotional nuances. Because 2 is so sensitive, it is very conflict-averse, and can end up feeling under-appreciated or unacknowledged. 2 must avoid seeking external validation and, instead, realize that perfect equilibrium needed already exists within.
