Ludovic

Ludovic is a French form of the Latinized name Ludovicus, itself derived from the Old Frankish name Hludwig, composed of the elements hlud, meaning famous or renowned, and wig, meaning war or battle. The name has deep roots in medieval European royalty, being the Latin form under which many French kings named Louis were recorded. It remains in use primarily in France, Scotland, and other Francophone regions. Related forms include Ludwig in German, Luigi in Italian, Luis in Spanish, and the anglicized Lewis and Louis.
