Loise is in Origin.

Loise is a feminine given name that likely arose as a cross-variant of biblical Lois and French Louise/Loïs. From Greek Lois, the name is linked to early Christian communities via the New Testament grandmother of Timothy; from the French line, it connects to Louise, the feminine of Louis derived from the Germanic Hludwig “famous battle.” As a result, Loise carries two legitimate etymologies across languages.

Records show Loise in Francophone and Anglophone registers since the late 19th century, with notable contemporary use in East Africa (particularly Kenya and Uganda), where it serves as a preferred spelling of Lois. Related forms and cognates include Lois, Loïs, Louise, Louisa, Luisa, and Luise; nicknames span Lo, Lulu, and Lolo. Meanings depend on the root: from Greek Lois, “better; most desirable,” and from the Louis line, “famous warrior” or “renowned in battle.”
