I believe that Alberto is the proper Slovenian name. My great, great grandfather was Alberto; lived in Kozarisce pri Lozu, near Grad Sneznik. Variations of Alois are: Alojzij, Alojz, Lojze, and, strangely, Vekoslav. The above are listed in a little old book my mother had, called Kdaj Godujes? Hope this helps.
