You currently have Ludolf listed as being archaic in Germany, i.e. it is no longer in use. That is incorrect: you can still find living German bearers on Facebook and LinkedIn, so the name is just rare instead of archaic: [noted -ed]

The name is also still in use in the Netherlands (and to a lesser extent, Flanders in Belgium). It is rare, but it seems to be a bit more common there than in Germany:

Lastly, the name is also used in Scandinavia, but it is extremely rare there:
