Loie is English in Origin.

Loie is a petite, vintage-style given name with roots in both English and French. Often a pet form of Louise or Eloise/Héloïse, it sometimes appears as Loïe in French, marking its two-syllable sound. Depending on the root, the meaning shifts: from Louise (the feminine of Louis, Germanic hlud “fame” + wig “war”), it conveys “famous warrior”; from Eloise/Héloïse (Germanic heil “hale” + wid “wide”), it suggests “healthy, broad.” In English use, Loie can also be a creative variant of Lois, a Greek New Testament name often interpreted as “desirable” or “better.”

The name gained cultural visibility through Loie Fuller (1862–1928), the American modern dance pioneer celebrated in Belle Époque Paris, whose preferred spelling Loïe reinforced its French flair. Rare today, Loie appeals to parents seeking a delicately bold, arts-associated choice. Related forms include Loïe, Louise, Louisa, Eloise, Héloïse, and Lois; nicknames may be Lo or Lolo.
