Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Marie-Louise: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1976.
Marie-Louise is a graceful French compound name, pairing Marie (from Hebrew Miryam, meaning "bitter" or "beloved") with Louise (the feminine form of Louis, from Frankish Hludwig, meaning "famous warrior"). The most famous bearer was Marie-Louise of Austria (1791–1847), Napoleon Bonaparte's second wife and Empress of the French, who later became Duchess of Parma. Another notable figure is Princess Marie-Louise of Bourbon-Parma, a Bulgarian princess known for her charitable work. While no major place shares the exact compound name, its elements appear in countless locations worldwide, from the St. Mary's of Scotland to the Louisiana and St. Louis of North America. A classic double-barrelled choice, Marie-Louise retains a distinctly French elegance and has been used steadily in Scotland, reflecting a wider European naming tradition.
