About the name Ludovica
Ludovica is the Italian feminine of Ludovico, from Ludovicus, the Latinised form of the Germanic Ludwig. Its elements are hlud, meaning famous, and wig, meaning battle, so the name signifies famous in battle. The same root produced the French Louise and the Polish Ludwika. In Rome, Blessed Ludovica Albertoni, a noblewoman known for her care of the poor, is commemorated by Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s marble sculpture in the church of San Francesco a Ripa. Lodovica is an older Italian spelling.
