Sophie-Louise

Double barrelled first names are a more modern creation. They are probably inspired by the double barrelled surnames frequently found in English speaking countries. The meaning of the name can be taken to be a mixture of its two parts theoretically. However very often the separate meanings of the two root names do not make sense when combined together so we shall look at them separately. Sophie and Louise are two favourite feminine names in English speaking countries. Sophie is the French form of Sophia which is of Greek origins and means ‘Wisdom’. Louise is also French, from Louis a masculine name meaning ‘Famed Warrior’.
