Louve Origin and Meaning

The name Louve is a girl's name of French origin meaning "she-wolf".

A modern name, taken literally from the French word for she-wolf, Louve could also be considered a feminine form of Loup (or Lupus). Similar in sound to Louvre — as in the famous art museum, whose name is said to mean "wolf-den" — it is a rare name that has begun to see more use in recent years.

Music artist Louve (known as UltraLouve) and writer Louve-ch are two bearers of the name, while around 35 girls have been given the name in Belgium in the last five years.
