Meaning:*
This name derives from Old High German name “Liutger,” composed of two elements: “*liudiz” (man, person, people) plus “*gaizaz” (spear, pike, javelin). Saint Ludger was a missionary among the Frisians and Saxons, founder of Werden Abbey, and the first bishop of Münster in Westphalia. St. Ludger’s parents, Thiadgrim and Liafburg, were wealthy Christian Frisians of noble descent. In 753, Ludger saw the great Apostle of Germany, Saint Boniface, which, together with the subsequent martyrdom of the saint, made a deep impression on him.
