Robb,
Check out the Main Exchange page: Etymology of Names http://www.dvhh.org/guides/etymology/index.htm
Under the Given names column, the first entry is:
Given Name Conversion Chart (PDF File) English | Czech | French | German | Hungarian | Italian | Polish | Slovakian | Russian | Yiddish

on this pfd chart see Hedwig and Aloysius:

ENGLISH Czech. French German Hungarian Italian Polish Slovakian Russian Yiddish

Hedwig . . Hedwig Hedwig . Jadwiga . . .
Jadwiga Jadwisia
Jadwisia Jadzia
Jadzia Jadzka

Aloysia . . . . . Ala .
Aloiza
Iza

Aloysius Alois . Alois Alajos . Alek Alojza Aloishyus .
Lojza Lojzi Alojzy Lojzko Aloisiy
Lojzek Lojzo

For a quick reference see the second link in this column: Topolcsanyi's Hungarian/Magyar - English/Angolul - Latin/Latinul - German/Németül Given Names.
I did not see Hedwig but Aloysia was listed:

Hi Folks,

I could use assistance interpreting some names from an FHL film,

What's the English equivalent to the women's given name?

Thanks!

Robb
