Louison is French in Origin.
Louison is a French hypocoristic formed with the affectionate suffix -on, used for both Louis and Louise. As such it is genuinely unisex, though today it trends more feminine. The underlying name Louis derives from Old High German Hludwig (Chlodowig), from hlūd “famous” + wīg “war, battle,” yielding the sense “famous warrior” or “renowned in battle.” Louison preserves that meaning while softening the tone, much like Manon does for Marie.
Documented in early modern parish records and literature - Molière’s Le Malade imaginaire includes a young Louison - the form long served as a homely nickname (compare the cyclist Louison Bobet). Since the 2000s it has been revived as a given name in France and Belgium and heard occasionally in Québec and Switzerland. Variants and related forms include Louison (rare), Louisette, Lison, Lou, Loulou; from the same root: Louis, Louise, Louisa, Ludwig/Ludovic, Luis, Lewis, and Clovis.
