Clovus Origin and Meaning

The name Clovus is a boy's name.

Clovus is a masculine name of Germanic origin, likely a variant spelling of Clovis, the Latinized form of the Frankish name Hlodowig. The name carries significant historical weight as it was the name of several Merovingian kings, including Clovis I, who united all the Frankish tribes under one ruler. The name means 'famous warrior' or 'famous in battle,' reflecting its royal and military origins. Clovus remains quite rare in modern usage, giving it a distinctive quality. Its historical connections make it appealing for parents interested in names with deep European heritage and powerful meanings. The unusual spelling sets it apart from the already uncommon Clovis, making it an even more distinctive choice.
