Louison

Louison is a French diminutive of Louise, itself the feminine form of Louis, which derives from the Old High German name Hludwig, composed of the elements hlud (famous, renowned) and wig (warrior). The name was popular in France during the early modern period and appears in French literature and theatre, most notably as a character name in Molière's works. Its warm, familiar tone made it a common pet form used alongside the full name Louise throughout French-speaking regions. Related forms include Louisette, Loulou, and the masculine Louisot.
