The classic mainland rendering of 'Lois'. The name's most recognizable bearer in Chinese pop culture is Lois Lane (洛伊斯·莱恩) of the Superman/超人 universe; second-most is Lois Griffin (洛伊斯·格里芬), the matriarch of Family Guy (《恶搞之家》).

memory

洛 'Luò' (a place name particle, e.g. 洛阳) carries the 'Lo-' sound; 伊 'yī' (literary 'she/that one') maps the long 'ee' middle; 斯 'sī' is the all-purpose foreign-name 's' filler.
