The Germanic name Chlodowig (and its variants) is usually said to be composed of the words for "fame" (hlūd) and "warrior" (wīġ) 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 (h)lod-, 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. Luis 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.
