Ludloff
Ludloff is a family name.
origin
In the 16th and 17th centuries, the Ludloff family name developed from the name Ludolf due to umlaut and fluctuating name spellings .
- hlod ( old Germanic ), hlud ( old Saxon , Anglo-Saxon , Frisian ), lut (Low High German): "loud" (as an adjective) or "famous"
- ulf , olf , uolf ( Old High German ) "Wolf"
- Summarizing meaning: "lucky charm", "helper", "famous helper", "loud wolf"
An umlaut from f to ph is explained by the fact that in the 16th and 17th centuries the Greek spelling with ph was preferred to German f . Later the "strange" ph was replaced by the "folk" ff .
variants
The most common variants are Ludolf ( Ludolph ) and Rudolf ( Rudolph ).
