What is the origin of Eloise?

Eloise is largely used in English, French, and Spanish. Its origin is Germanic. The name is of obscure origin; it could be from Heilwidis (Germanic) or Helewis (Middle English), of the first element 'heill' (healthy, safe, whole) and the second element 'witu' (wood, forest) or 'wit' (wide). It could also be a form of Louise via the Provençal Aloys. It was first introduced in the 11th century to English speakers by the Normans. It was borne by Éloise or Héloïse (1101-1164), the ill-fated and beautiful wife of the French philosopher Peter Abelard. After her husband was castrated by her uncle, she became an abbess and her husband a monk; they kept in touch via letters, and each of them founded a religious institution. The name saw a revival among English speakers in the 19th century, in allusion to the fidelity of the medieval abbess.
