Cheers to all those called Ludwig, Louie, Louis, Lewis, Lou, Lew, and… Louisa! <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Did you know that today is the National Louie Day<\/em> (https:\/\/shorturl.at\/bdwLR<\/a>)? Yes, today is the day “on which everyone gathers to praise and honour every person with the name Louie that exis<\/em>ts” (https:\/\/shorturl.at\/bdwLR<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the above, and because he deserves it [and no she is not biased :)], Bambi would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to Louis, her spouse!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Louis’ name is pronounced like Louie, but written with its French variant, Louis. The choice of his beautiful name was a loving compromise between his anglophone dad and his francophone mom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, “Louie is a slight variation of the name Louis. This is a name of French origin, Latinized from the German name \u2018Ludwig,\u2019 which means \u201crenowned warrior.\u201d The most popular variants of Louie include Lewis, Lou, Lew, and Louisa, a feminine form of the name<\/em> [hello to Luisa, if she happens to be reading now :)!] (https:\/\/shorturl.at\/bdwLR<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of note, “Louie\u2019s are found primarily in English-speaking areas, such as England, New Zealand, and even the Dutch-speaking country of the Netherlands. Its popularity has also risen significantly in the nordic country Sweden”<\/em> (https:\/\/shorturl.at\/bdwLR<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some of you who love fiction, you may perhaps already know that the Simpsons<\/em> include a mafia member called “Louie”. Same for one of Donald Duck<\/em>‘s nephews (https:\/\/shorturl.at\/bdwLR<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as Bambi is concerned, she is a fan of French actor\/comedian Louis de Fun\u00e8s (https:\/\/shorturl.at\/opP79<\/a>). Of course, indepedent of comedy, the name “Louis” means a lot to her since it is the street where her dad’s store is located in Lebanon. Long live Azar Electric<\/em> on Saint-Louis’ street in Beirut, as per the older post below. <\/p>\n\n\n

To conclude this post, Bambi would like to offer Louis two songs and a brief YouTube<\/em> video featuring Louis de Fun\u00e8s in both English and French. Happy national name day, Luigi!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
