Lue

Lue is a girl's and boy's baby name of Germanic origin, a short form of Louise or Louella, with Louise derived from the Old High German Hlūdwīg (Ludwig), meaning 'famous warrior.' Lue represents the clipped, informal diminutive tradition common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Lue was used primarily in the American South and rural Midwest in the early 20th century. Short and sweet, it has the quietly sturdy quality of names that carry more history than their two letters suggest.
