The name Loes is a girl's name of Dutch origin meaning "renowned warrior".

Used as a Dutch variant of the classic Louise and as a feminine short form of Lodewijk (Ludwig), this strong but sparky choice is a familiar choice in the Netherlands where it ranked in the Top 250 in 2024. Notably borne by actresses Loes Haverkort and Loes Luca and by footballer Loes Geurts, it is pronounced as LOOS, similar to the beginning of Lucy.
