HLODWIG. German
contracted form of Teutonic Hluodowig
(q.v.), meaning "famous war." The original form was Latinized as
Lluduicus,
and Ludovicus. The German Hlodwig later became Ludwig, and the
French made it Louis.
"Lluduicus"
is now known to the French as Louis le Debonnaire, a title that some
ascribe to his piety, others to his weakness. The Germans took him
as Ludwig, and thenceforth these two varieties held a double course,
while the softer Provençals made him Aloys, which is now regarded, owing
to a saint of its own, as a separate name. (History of Christian
Names, Yonge, 1884).
