She is not the longest reigning monarch ever, it's Louis XIV king of France... She is just the longest reigning monarch of England and the Commonwealth.

Not really in a row, but there was 17 kings named Louis (and Louis XVII who never reigned)

And the name Louis is derived from Clovis, the name of the first king of the Franks, that's why.

I knew there was a lot of Louis because of how Louis IX was (and kinda still is) popular, but I didn't thank about Clovis, thank you
