Lovissa is Swedish in Origin.

Lovissa is a Scandinavian, especially Sweden- and Finland-Swedish, variant of Lovisa, the Swedish form of Louise. The name ultimately derives from Old High German Hludwig/Chlodovech, combining hlūd “famous” and wīg “war, battle,” yielding the meaning “famous in battle” or “renowned warrior.” Royal influence helped spread the root in the North: Queen Lovisa Ulrika of Sweden (1720–1782) lends her name to the Finnish coastal city Loviisa, and the Lovisa/Lovissa spelling appears in period records.

Use of Lovissa is documented in 18th–19th‑century parish books across Sweden and Finland, typically as a less common spelling beside Lovisa or Louvisa. Today it remains rare, chosen as a distinctive twist on the classic. Related forms and cognates include Lovisa, Loviisa (Finnish), Louise and Louisa, Luisa, Ludovica, and Aloisia; short forms include Lova, Lo, Isa, Vivi, and Lulu.

Lovissa turns up in none of the birth registries or name datasets we cover. That usually points to a very rare, regional, or newly coined name. Whatever the reason, hardly anyone else has it.
