📖 À propos Louisa
Louisa est la forme latinisée féminine de Louis, issue du vieux haut-allemand 'Hluodowig' — composé de 'hlud' (gloire) et 'wig' (guerrier). Très en vogue dans l'Angleterre georgienne et victorienne, elle apparaît dans l'univers de Jane Austen et ornait les cours royales d'Europe. Son héritage le plus durable est celui de Louisa May Alcott, dont 'Les Quatre Filles du docteur March' lui a offert une immortalité littéraire. En France et en Belgique, Louisa connaît un fort renouveau depuis les années 2010, prisée pour son élégance intemporelle.
