What is the exact meaning of the name Laoise?

i like this name but there are two meanings to it. i prefer 'radiant girl' to 'irish form of louise; famous warrior'.





does anybody knows what Laoise mean exactly?

What is the exact meaning of the name Laoise?
It means both "radiant girl" and is the Irish form of Louisa. It's both!
Reply:Meaning: Its source is Hlutwig, an Ancient Germanic name meaning "Famous warrior."





Languages: This girl's name is used in Irish Gaelic.





Narrative: The Ancient Germanic name Hlutwig was Latinized into Ludovicus. The French shortened this to Clovis, and over time dropped the ''c'' and changed the ''v'' to a ''u.'' Voilè°©, Louis. In the opinion of the French, this was an excellent name for a king -- eighteen of them, in fact.





Somewhere in this progression, the feminine Latin form Louisa was changed by the French into Louise, and from the interplay of these names a bouquet of girls' names grew -- Eloise, Heloise, Eloisa, Luisa and others.






Reply:I believe this refers to people who are born in Laos as in Laotion peoples on southeastern Asia.
