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.
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.
