Lova

Lova is a Scandinavian feminine name, a shortened form of the Old Norse name Lovisa, itself a Scandinavian adaptation of the Germanic name Louisa or Louise, derived from the Old High German elements hlud (famous, renowned) and wig (warrior or battle). It has been used as an independent given name primarily in Sweden and other Nordic countries, particularly from the nineteenth century onward as pet forms became established given names in their own right. Related names include Lovisa, Louisa, Louise, and Alova.
