The name of Saint Louis was given by the first French settlers to honor King Louis XIVᵗʰ of France in the late 17ᵗʰ Century. Actually, it is his ancestor, King Louis IXᵗʰ of France who is Saint Louis! The relief of Saint Louis (i.e. King Louis IXᵗʰ of France) is carved in one of the walls of the Capitol of Washington, DC.
