In my country (Netherlands) there aren't a lot of people bearing this name. I think it is rather a German name than a Dutch name. Ludovica is not typically a Dutch name. [noted -ed]

Actually long time ago I read that the name Ludovica is a Slavic name (not Dutch). It means "Eminent Warrior".
I love this name. It's a more easily pronounceable version of my great-grandmother's name (who was from Germany), Ludewika. I think people would have trouble pronouncing "Ludewika" correctly, but "Ludovica" is a beautiful - both easily pronounced and spelled - variation. It's one of the names that my husband and I would consider for a daughter.
