Ella-Louise

Girl name · 33 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Ella-Louise: 33 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 9 births in 2015.

Ella-Louise brings together two beloved classics, with Ella likely derived from the Norman French 'Helle' or the Germanic 'Alia', meaning 'other' or 'foreign', while Louise is the French feminine form of the German Ludwig, meaning 'famous warrior'. The name is perhaps most associated with the jazz legend Ella Fitzgerald, whose voice and artistry redefined American music, and Princess Louise, Queen Victoria's fourth daughter, a talented sculptor. The component 'Ella' shares a root with many place names, including the French town of Étaples, while Louise has given its name to Lake Louise in Canada, a stunning glacial lake named after Princess Louise. This double-barrelled name also mirrors the style of the popular singer-songwriter Ella Henderson, whose full name is Ella-Louise.
