Ludwina is a distinctive and unique given name of Polish origin, derived from the Germanic elements "Hlud" meaning "famous, loud" and "win" meaning "friend". It is a feminine form of the male name Ludwig, which was popular among European royalty in the Middle Ages. The name Ludwina has been predominantly used within Slavic cultures, particularly in Poland where it has been traditionally bestowed upon daughters of families bearing titles such as 'Counts' and 'Barons'. Despite its historical roots and aristocratic associations, today Ludwina is considered quite rare and unique, making it an appealing choice for parents seeking a distinctive name for their daughter.
"In a span of nine years between 1913 and 1920, the name Ludwina was given to twenty newborns, with five babies being named each in the years 1913, 1916, 1917, and 1920."
