Louie (given name)


Louie has historically been regarded as a less common variant of the given name Louis. It originated in the United Kingdom as a more regularly-spelled version without a silent ⟨s⟩. In 2011, it was the 74th most common forename for births in England and Wales, with Louis slightly more common at 68th. However in both 2022 and 2023 UK baby names popularity it has ranked above Louis. In the United States, Louis is far more common.
The name is unisex; it is usually considered a masculine given name, as a derivation of Louis, but is occasionally given to girls as a diminutive of Louise.
