While the meaning of the Louvre in terms of its origin story is debated, the Grand Larousse encyclopédique claims that the name was taken from a word meaning wolf hunting den. Other speculations on the naming of the Louvre Museum are linked to Saint Fara (family of Faronids), the founder of the Abbey of Faremoutiers, who gifted her villa, also called Luvra to the monastery. Although unclear, the only correlation is the name of the villa.
