Origins

The Germanic name Script error: No such module "Lang". (and its variants) is usually said to be composed of the words for "fame" (Template:Wikt-lang) and "warrior" (Template:Wikt-lang) and hence may be translated to famous warrior or "famous in battle".[1] According to Dutch onomatologists however, it is more likely that the first stem was Script error: No such module "Lang"., meaning fame, which would give the meaning 'warrior for the gods' (or: 'warrior who captured stability') for the full name.[2]

Modern forms of the name are the German name Ludwig and the Dutch form Lodewijk. Script error: No such module "Lang". and the other Iberian forms more closely resemble the French name Louis, a derivation of the Latinized form Clovis, known from the kings of the Franks. The sanctified French king Louis IX (Saint Louis) contributed much to the popularity of the name.
