Luise

Luise is the German form of Louise, itself the French feminine of Louis, derived from the Old High German name Hludwig, composed of the elements hlud, meaning famous or renowned, and wig, meaning warrior. The name became widely used in German-speaking lands in part through the influence of Queen Luise of Prussia, a beloved figure celebrated for her grace and patriotism during the Napoleonic era. Related forms include Louisa, Luisa, and the masculine Ludwig and Lewis.
