Lewis (surname)
Lewis is a surname in the English language. It has several independent origins.
One of the origins of the surname, in England and Wales, is from the Norman personal name ''Lowis'', ''Lodovicus''. This name is composed of the Germanic elements ''hlod'' and ''wig'', meaning "fame" and "war". The name developed into the Old French ''Clovis'', ''Clouis'', ''Louis''; as well as into the German ''Ludwig''. The name Lowis spread to England through the Normans. Lewis has since become confused with other unrelated names. One such name is ''Llywelyn'' in Welsh which has been Anglicised into ''Lewis'', with among the earliest examples being the Lewis family of Glamorgan in the 1540s.〔(The National Library of Wales )〕 Another is the Gaelic surname ''Mac Lughaidh'', meaning "son of ''Lughaidh''", which has also been Anglicised as ''Lewis''. The surname ''Lewis'' is also an Americanization of several like-sounding Jewish surnames,〔(【引用サイトリンク】Learn about the family history of your surname ) which cited for the surname "Lewis".〕 such as "Levi," and of the Arab form of the name "Elias".
Lewis is the 4th most common surname in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, 6th most common surname in Wales, 22nd most common in England, 24th most common in the United States, 129th most common in Scotland, .〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lewis Surname Meaning ) Retrieved 20 January 2014〕
