   Louis could refer to different contexts: 1) It's typically a masculine given name of French origin which means "renowned warrior". Historical figures that bear this name include many French kings like Louis XIV and Louis XVI. 2) It could also refer to a French gold coin that was in circulation from 1640 to 1793. Without a specific context, the most common association with "Louis" would be the name, and potential associations would be largely dependent on individual personal knowledge and experience (like Louis Vuitton or Louis Armstrong).
