Name Root:
*hlūdaz wīg > CHLODOVECH
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Old High German “Chlodowich and Chlodovech,” composed of two elements: “*hlūdaz,” meaning (to hear, loud, sound, noise / famous) plus “wīg,” meaning (fight, battle, fighter, able to fight). The name means “glorious in the battle, famous warrior.” Directly from the root of the name derives, for example, “Ludwig” and from “Chlodovech,” for example, derive the masculine form “Clovis and Clodoveo.” Clovis I, “Latinized form Chlodovech,” was king of the Franks and ruler of much of Gaul from 481 to 511, a crucial period during the transformation of the Roman Empire into Europe. His dynasty, the Merovingians, survived more than 200 years, until the rise of the Carolingians in the 8th-century. While he was not the first Frankish king, he was the kingdom’s political and religious founder.
