Ludwik is a name of Polish origin, derived from the Germanic element Hlud, meaning "fame" or "renown," combined with the suffix -wig, signifying "war." This results in Ludwik being interpreted as "known in battle" or "famous warrior." The name has been popular among Poles throughout history and is still widely used today.
The name Ludwik had a consistent presence with around five to seven births per year between 1914 and 1920, resulting in a total of 23 newborns during this period.
