Algis

Meaning of Algis

Algis bursts onto the scene like a spirited champion from the heart of Lithuania, pronounced AHL-gis with the crisp clarity of a rallying cry. It springs from ancient Baltic roots—“alga,” to defend—painting a picture of a steadfast guardian strolling through misty pine groves. Picture him as a modern-day centurion armed with a smile, his name shining like polished bronze in a Latin fiesta of meaning and melody. Though Algis flickered through U.S. baby charts in the 1950s and ’60s—half a dozen or so each year—it never lost its fiery charm or its underdog appeal. It’s the kind of name that dances between generations, carrying warmth, valor, and just a touch of mischief wherever it goes.
