(“elvis” is a given name)
(it is an anglicisation of the name of the irish “saint ailbe of emly”)
The earlier meaning of Ailbe is uncertain;
it may have been understood in the Middle Ages to derive from Irish ail, ‘rock’, but this is unlikely to have been its historical meaning.
(in internet sources, the name is widely claimed to derive from Old English Eall-wīs, meaning “all-wise”, but the development of w > v would be irregular and the name is not, in any case, attested in Anglo-Saxon sources; it is possible that this claim is inspired by the existence of the Old Norse mythological name ‘Alvíss’)
(other alternative etymologies have been proposed for the name, including that it is derived from the surname Elwes, and that it is related to the Welsh name ‘Alwyn’)
(most commonly, it refers to American singer “Elvis Presley” (1935–1977))
(it may also be the first name of people who were born before Presley became a household name, as in the case of the former U.S. administrator Elvis Jacob Stahr, Jr. (1916–1998, born the same year as Elvis Presley’s father, ‘Vernon Elvis Presley’), but in most cases it refers to those who either took the name themselves, as was the case with the UK/born singer and songwriter ‘Elvis Costello’, or were given the name by their parents as a tribute to ‘Presley’)
(according to a recent study by the UK-based people’s dispensary for sick animals, the name “elvis” ranks #8 in the ‘top 10’ celebrity names chosen for a pet dog in ‘britain’)
