Origins and etymology of the name Luigi
The name Luigi derives from an ancient name germanic francone, Chlodowich, Hlodwig and Hlodowig, developed first in the form Clodovicus, which later became Louis and then Loois and Luis in old French. In this long history, many names have developed in various eras and in different languages allotropes (deriving, therefore, from the same matrix), like Alvise, Clodoveo and Ludovico. Etymologically the original Germanic name Hlodwig is composed of two elements: hlod (which many sources translate as "fame" even if it is still difficult to interpret today) and Vig which means battle, warrior.
