Louisette

Louisette is a French feminine diminutive of Louise, itself the French feminine form of Louis, which derives from the Old Frankish name Hludwig, composed of the elements hlud, meaning famous, and wig, meaning war or battle. The name thus carries the sense of famous in battle and belongs to a long tradition of Frankish and French royal naming. Louisette, along with Louisine and Louison, represents the affectionate diminutive register of this lineage. Louise and its masculine counterpart Louis remain the primary forms across French-speaking cultures.
