Ludowig Coat of Arms and Surname Origin

Written in a baptism entry or a ship's list, Ludowig usually leads back to Ludwig.

Surname dictionaries give the meaning as “Famous in battle”. Ludowig is listed among the recognised spellings of Ludwig. Regional accents shaped spellings long before dictionaries fixed them. You may also find the name written Ludewig, Ludwigs and Lodwig.

Ludowig coat of arms

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Ludowig, so the heraldry linked to Ludwig is a starting point, not an automatic right.
