Indeed, it is either "Lellouche" or "Lelouche" (both spellings are used for Last names as far as I know, with perhahs "Lelouche" being more common). And "Le louche" would mean something along the lines of someone being shady or suspicious, or a behaviour having this characteristic. So if you see someone acting sneakily, you could see it is indeed "louche" (with the French meaning of this word).
I think "louche", when used in English, has a somewhat different meaning though. Or rather, my dictionary gives "of questionable taste and morality" as a definition. But then, I should beware of French adjectives used in English; while "risqué" (or risque without this accent) means "risky" in French, saying that something or someone is risque in English doesn't quite have the same meaning.

Thank You. Thank You. You are right about LOUCHE it's means "disreputable or of doubtful morality". Well, I can't use quite like I wanted too. You French get all the cool words .
