- Ludwig Meaning
- From the Germanic name Chlodovech which meant "famous warrior", composed of the elements hlud "fame" and wig "warrior". This was the name of three Merovingian kings of the Franks (though their names are usually spelled in the Latinized form Clovis) as well as several Carolingian kings and Holy Roman Emperors (names often spelled in the French form Louis). Other famous bearers include the German composer Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) and the Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951), who contributed to logic and the philosophy of language. Ludwig originates in Germanic languages and means "well-known fighter". As a masculine given name it is mainly used in German language. In the United States it is much more popular in its Latinized version, Louis.
