Eloi First Name Meaning

Eloi is a male name of French origin, derived from the name Éloi, which means "To Choose". It is the French form of Eligius. In H.G. Wells' 1895 novel "The Time Machine", the Eloi are depicted as a fictional species of post-humans living a life of ease on the Earth's surface. They are described as small in stature, with sub-human intelligence, feeble bodies, and a lack of motivation to work. They are sustained by the Morlocks, who provide for them but ultimately prey on them as a food source. The name Eloi has also been referenced in other literary works, such as Dan Simmons' "Ilium", where it is used to describe lazy and uncultured descendants of the human race. In film adaptations, the Eloi are portrayed differently, but their role as a distinct species remains consistent.
