Clovis is the modern conventional French (and thence English) form of the Old Frankish name Chlodowig (*Hlōdowig "famous in battle"), equivalent to the modern forms Louis (French) and Ludwig (German).

Because of the importance of Clovis I in the national historiography of France, the form Clovis has been occasionally revived beginning in the 19th century. In the same period, the form Chlodwig has seen some limited use in Germany.
