Milou

The French-originated name Milou is actually a contraction of two names, Marie or Mary and Lou or Louise. It is often given to babies of a specific gender in various European countries, especially the Netherlands and Belgium. The spelling can be varied as Malou to help English speakers pronounce the name more correctly without needlessly confusing it with Milo, which is an entirely different name. The meaning of Milou is 'wished for child' (from Marie) and 'famous female warrior' (from Louise). Perhaps, one of the most famous personalities bearing the name is Milou Van Groesen, the Dutch model and actress renowned for her roles in the movies 'Suntan' and 'One Plus One'. Some pets also bear the name Milou. An example is the dog Milou (named Snowy in English and Bobbie in Dutch) in the French-language Belgian comic series 'The Adventures Of Tintin' and the dog of German politician Ursula von der Leyen, who is the current president of the European Commission.
