A girls’ name of Greek origin, meaning good or desirable.
Lois by the numbers
In 2025, 87 babies in England and Wales were named Lois. In the US, 133 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given several times more often in England and Wales than in the US.
Its American peak was 10,505 babies in 1927, so it is a 1920s name that has since fallen a long way.
