Girl name · 23 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Katie-Louise: 23 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 5 births in 2002.
Katie-Louise combines two enduringly popular names with distinct roots. Katie, a Scottish and English diminutive of Katherine, likely derives from the Greek Aikaterine, though its precise meaning is debated—often associated with "pure." Louise is the feminine form of Louis, from the Germanic Chlodowich, meaning "famous warrior." Individually, each part boasts famous bearers: actress Katie Holmes, reality star Katie Price, and Louise Brown, the world's first test-tube baby. There are no direct place connections, but the hyphenated style is especially beloved in Scotland, where parents often double up on classic favourites. The name echoes a tradition of compound names like Anna-Louise, offering a melodic, balanced choice that feels both modern and timeless.
