Hello,
Probobly inapropriate answer. I just want to say that Ludovici..??
In latin recods in St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A. I have noted St. Louis recorded as St. Ludovici/Ludovic.
Am thinking Ludovic might also sometimes mean Louis.
My ancestor Lukas/Lucas Feldhaus has also been recorded as Louis.
I don't necessarily think Lucas and Louis are truly one in the same name meaning, but I think its possible by spelling error or translation.
Barbie.
