Eloise
[ˈɛloʊiz]Meaning
from the Old French Héloïse, probably from the Germanic Helewidis: heil "healthy, whole" and wit "wide"
Background Story
Eloise comes from the Old French name Héloïse, which was probably from the Germanic Helewidis, composed of heil, meaning "healthy, whole", and wit, meaning "wide". It is sometimes associated with the Greek word helios, meaning "sun", or with the name Louise, though there is no etymological connection. A medieval English form, Helewis, died out after the 13th century, and the name was revived in the English-speaking world in the 19th century in the form Eloise.
