Meaning & Story

A short form of Luigi or Luis, variants of Louis — from the Old Frankish 'Hluodwig' meaning 'famous warrior' or 'glory in battle.' Lui is the warm, casual, Southern European form.

Lui is a name with a relaxed Mediterranean warmth to it — like someone calling across a sunny courtyard. It suits a confident, sociable pet with easy charm and a natural authority that he wears lightly. Lui gets along with everyone, never in a rush, perpetually pleased with his surroundings. He is the dog who has his spot on the terrace and the whole neighborhood knows his name. Laid-back and entirely wonderful.
