ENGLISH: Medieval English form of Louis, ultimately derived from "Ludwig," which is from the Germanic name Hludwig meaning "famous in battle", composed of the elements hlut "famous, loud" and wig "war, battle".
connieblackwoodHit "enter" too early as I was adding the description; OP, can you add this to the end– WELSH: Anglicized form of "Llywelyn," which is probably a Welsh form of an unattested old Celtic name *Lugubelinos, a combination of the names of the gods Lugus and Belenus, or a compound of Lugus and a Celtic root meaning "strong". Alternatively it may be derived from Welsh llyw "leader".
