While her stone lists her name order as Elizabeth Louise, she was christened as Louise Elizabeth Maneval. Her rufnamen (common name) was Elizabeth and she was known as Lizzie. Apparently, as did some German immigrants to the US, she flipped her rufnamen and her saintly vorenamen (forename) to match the US custom of having the common name as the first name.
Born in Ober-Roden, Hesse-Darmstadt, she was the daughter of Eberhard Christoph Maneval and Rosine Juliana Plag.
One of four in her extended family named Louise Elizabeth. These included her niece Louise Elizabeth Schad Struck and her great nieces Louise Elizabeth Brakeall Opperman and Louise Elizabeth Neher.
