Eloise Name Meaning & History
,
As an English feminine name, Eloise comes from the Old French name Heloise, which is probably from the Germanic name Helewidis, composed of the elements heil “hale, healthy” and wid “wide”. It is considered as the French variant of Louise, though there is not likely an etymological connection. It is sometimes associated with the Greek word helios, meaning “sun”. This name was borne in the 12th century by Saint Eloise, the wife of the French theologian Peter Abelard. She became a nun after her husband was castrated by her uncle. There was a medieval English form of this name, Helewis, though it died out after the 13th century. In the 19th century, it was revived in the English-speaking world in the form Eloise.
The name is pronounced as EL-o-eez or el-o-EEZ. In its French origin, it means Renowned in battle. In English, until the thirteenth century, it was common in its medieval form, Helewis. After this fell into disuse, it was brought back into vogue in the nineteenth century, in the form Eloise. — Eloise most likely originates in Germanic languages and means “healthy woman”. In English-speaking countries, it has been used since the 19th century. Some sources suggest it might originate in the Greek language or be a variant of Louise.
