Answer 1

You're right, there are two basic ways to write your name in Arabic.

لويز is actually pronounced Lou-eez with a "z" because that's how we say the name Louise in English.

لويس would be pronounced Lou-ees. It's a direct respelling of the letters of your name in Arabic, but then it sounds wrong because the "s" in Louise is really pronounced like a Z, not like an "s." Also, the man's name Louis or Lewis in Arabic is usually written لويس too, so that could be confusing.

Personally, I would go with لويز - the one with the "z" - if I were you, since it reflects the real sound and won't get mixed up with Louis.

Answer 2

there may not be an exact translation since it isn't an Arabic name....so someone could use different methods to get an approximate similarity to an Arabic name.

Answer 3

To write it in Arabic properly ,you must first tell how you say it in English;
lwiz=لويز
lwees=لويس
