Did you know?
- Because 'w' is not an indigenous letter in the French alphabet, a person named Lewis might find their name spelled with a 'v' or 'ou' in older historical documents to mimic the sound.
- While Lewis is used in France, the traditional French version of this name is Louis. These names share the same roots but have very different pronunciations in French.
- The French language generally avoids the letter 'w' in indigenous words, so Lewis is immediately recognized as a foreign loan name.
