What is the meaning of the name elouise ?

elouise is French in Origin.

Elouise is an English respelling of Eloise, the French Éloïse that traces to medieval Héloïse and ultimately to the Germanic name Helewidis/Helewise. The etymology is usually parsed from the elements heil, meaning "hale, healthy," and wid, "wide, broad," yielding a sense of soundness or breadth of spirit. Because Eloise sits near Louise in sound, folk etymology sometimes adds a "famous warrior" gloss, but scholars generally reserve that for names from Ludwig.

The name's literary fame stems from the 12th-century Héloïse of Argenteuil, whose letters with Peter Abelard kept the form alive in French tradition. In English-speaking countries it revived in the late 19th and 20th centuries; the Elouise spelling appears in U.S. records from the early 1900s and remains rarer than Eloise. International variants and cognates include Éloïse, Héloïse, Heloise, Eloísa/Eloisa (Spanish, Portuguese, Italian). Common diminutives are Ellie, Lou, and Lulu.
