Luís Carlos or Luis Carlos is a masculine double name, the Portuguese and Spanish form of the English double name Louis Charles. The primary form of the name is Louis-Charles in French, and it is now present in several languages, such as Luigi Carlo in Italian, Lluís Carles in Catalan, and Ludwig Karl in German.[1]
The spelling Luís is also written as Luiz due to the influence of archaic Portuguese, where names were written without standardized rules. Luís Carlos, a double name derived from French cultural influences, has been widely adopted within Luso-Brazilian society, ranking among the most prevalent composite names in Brazil.
