Lowie

Lowie is a Dutch given name functioning as a familiar short form of Lodewijk, the Dutch equivalent of Ludwig and Louis, ultimately derived from the Old High German name Hludwig, composed of the elements hlud, meaning famous or renowned, and wig, meaning war or battle. The name thus carries the sense of famous warrior or glorious in battle. It shares its roots with the widespread royal and noble name Louis, borne by numerous French kings and other European rulers throughout the medieval and early modern periods. Related forms include Lodewijk, Louis, Ludwig, and Lewis.
