Meaning: Fame

Luise is a feminine form of Louis, which has roots in the Germanic name Ludwig, but it became popular in the 18th century rather than originating in the Middle Ages. Luise is derived from the name Louis, which has Germanic origins, specifically from 'Hludowig,' where 'hlud' means 'fame' and 'wig' means 'warrior', meaning "renowned" or "famous. " Over time, the name has evolved through various cultural influences, becoming a popular given name in many European countries. Luise is associated with elegance, but there is no strong evidence to support the claim of sophistication. Its use has remained consistent across generations, reflecting a timeless appeal to parents seeking a classic yet distinctive name.
