The name is part of Prince William’s full name (he is William Arthur Philip Louis), and also part of Prince George’s (he is George Alexander Louis). It is also the name of Prince Philip’s grandfather, Prince Louis.
Baby Louis’s older siblings were also named after some famous royals. Prince George’s full name is George Alexander Louis, and his first name was likely chosen to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth’s father, who took the name King George VI when he ascended to the throne. Alexander is a nod to the Queen herself, whose middle name is Alexandra. And Louis likely refers to Prince Philip’s grandfather, Prince Louis Alexander of Battenberg.
