Luh is a Balinese given name of Austronesian origin meaning “girl” or “maiden,” functioning primarily as a feminine marker within Bali’s traditional naming system. It has been recorded for centuries in local usage, appearing in palm‑leaf manuscripts and later colonial records, and remains common today across Hindu Balinese communities.

In practice, Luh may stand alone or precede a birth‑order name - examples include Luh Putu (firstborn), Luh Kadek (second), Luh Komang (third), and Luh Ketut (fourth). The respectful feminine prefix Ni often yields the widely seen form Ni Luh; compound forms such as Luh Ayu (“graceful/beautiful”) also occur. A historical Dutch‑era spelling Loeh is occasionally encountered. Outside Indonesia the name is rare and sometimes mistaken for the Chinese surname Lu or for a clipped Western nickname, but its Balinese roots and core meaning of femininity and youthful grace are clear.
