Louisiana

While many associate Louisiana with the southern state, this feminine name is actually rooted in the French King Louis XIV. A variation of the monarch's name, Louisiana stems from an Old High German name Ludhuwīg‎, meaning "famous in battle." Its components are the German elements *hlūdaz, "famous," and wīg, "battle," endowing Louisiana with quite the formidable foundations. Of course, many consider Louisiana as simply embodying the meaning "related to Louis," but time will no doubt show your kiddo belongs to nobody.
