Terri-Louise is English in Origin.

Terri-Louise is a modern English double-barrelled feminine given name combining Terri and Louise. Terri is a pet form of Teresa/Theresa, a name of debated origin, possibly linked to the Greek island Therasia or to the verb therizein “to harvest.” Louise is the French feminine of Louis, from Germanic Ludwig (hlud “famous” + wig “war, battle”), yielding the sense “famous warrior.” Together the elements suggest associations of fruitful labor and renown in struggle.

The compound gained currency in Britain in the late 20th century, reflecting the vogue for hyphenated forenames and the peak popularity of Louise (1960s-80s) alongside Teresa-derived diminutives (1950s-70s). It remains most familiar in England, Wales, and Ireland, with rarer use in North America. Spelling variants include Teri-Louise, Terrie-Louise, Terry-Louise, and the unhyphenated Terri Louise; a reversed form Louise-Terri also occurs. Related names are Teresa/Theresa, Teri, Terrie, Louise, Louisa, and Eloise. Common nicknames: Terri, Lou, Lou-Lou, and Terri-Lou.
