Erin-Louise: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2009.
While the enchanting Scottish name Erin-Louise is a modern compound, its two parts each carry rich heritage. Erin is an anglicised poetic name for Ireland, stemming from the Gaelic Éirinn, and it first appeared as a given name in the late 19th century. Louise is the French feminine form of Louis, ultimately from the Germanic name Chlodowech, meaning "famous warrior." The most famous bearer of the separate parts is perhaps the American actress Erin Brockovich, whose real-life legal victory was immortalised in film, while Louise has been borne by numerous European princesses, including the British Queen's daughter Princess Louise. The root of Erin also gives us the country name Ireland itself, and Louise shares its etymological origin with the French region of Languedoc. One further note: the double-barrelled spelling with a hyphen was particularly fashionable in Scotland during the late 1980s and 1990s, reflecting a broader trend for lyrical, feminine compounds.
