Louviniah is in Origin.

Louviniah is a rare American feminine given name, most plausibly an ornamental or dialectal reshaping of Lavinia, colored by the widespread Lou-/Louise family of names. It appears in 19th- and early 20th‑century U.S. records, especially in the South, where phonetic spellings and creative blends were common; the form with final -h reflects a biblical-styled flourish seen in period naming. Usage has been sporadic since mid‑century, giving the name a vintage, regional character.

As a Lavinia offshoot, its etymology likely traces to an ancient Roman (probably Etruscan) name of uncertain meaning; the oft-cited link to Latin lavare “to wash” is folk etymology. If the Lou- element was felt from Louise/Louisa, a secondary association is the Germanic “famous warrior.” Variant spellings include Louvinia, Louvenia, Lovinia, Luvinia, Louvina, Luvina, Levinia, and Lavenia; related forms are Lavinia and Louvenia. Nicknames: Lou, Lulu, Vinia, Vinnie, Nia.
