The surname LOUISJEAN has its origins in France, originating in the 17th century. It is believed to be a combination of the French words "louis" meaning "renowned warrior" and "jean" derived from the Hebrew name "Yohanan" meaning "God is gracious."

The earliest known records of the LOUISJEAN name can be traced back to the northern regions of France, particularly in the provinces of Normandy and Picardy.

During the 18th century, the LOUISJEAN family dispersed to other regions of France, with some members settling in the southern provinces of Languedoc and Provence. One prominent individual from this period was Antoine LOUISJEAN (1725-1792), a merchant from Marseille who played a significant role in the city's thriving trade industry.

As the centuries progressed, the LOUISJEAN name continued to be associated with various professions and occupations. In the 19th century, Marie LOUISJEAN (1822-1887), a skilled weaver from the town of Lille, gained recognition for her intricate tapestry works.
