Eligius

The meaning of Eligius is 'selected', 'to choose', or 'chosen'. It is commonly used as a name for males. The name has its origins in both French and Latin. Its Latin origin is from the Latin word 'eligere.' However, its French origin comes from the most prominent bearer of the name St. Eligius, who was a seventh-century French priest. He was born about 588 AD in the vicinity of Limoges, in the south of France. Eucherius, Eligius' father, placed his young son in an apprenticeship with a jeweler. As soon as Eligius ended his training, he established enough of a reputation that King Clotaire II of the Franks, who was based in Paris at the time, heard about him. Clotaire recruited Elgius to build a throne and furnished him with the wealth and diamonds he needed when Elgius crossed the river into the adjacent Frankish realm. Using the materials, Clotaire had provided Eligius for constructing one beautiful throne. The master smith fashioned two equally exquisite thrones. He became the patron saint of gold, silver, and blacksmiths, as well as metalworkers, because of his expert artistry and unwavering honesty. Individuals with this name are typically believed to be having a strong sense of self-worth and a mindset to achieve a great deal in their careers and personal lives. These persons use their natural leadership qualities and inborn capabilities to persuade and manage others.

1 symbolizes a pioneering spirit, independent nature, and innate leadership capabilities. On a bad day, 1 can be a bit bossy or boastful, hiding any insecurities behind over-developed self-importance. 1 must remember that although it is first, it can very quickly become the loneliest number. Even the most autonomous 1s need the support of their friends, family, and lovers.
