Luici

• Lisi, Lici (native old variants)
• Luvisi, Luvici (native dieretic old variants)
• Cluduvìu, Luduvicu (Latinism)
• Luiggi, Luiggiu (Italianism)
• Ligghi (dialectal)

Superseded (by conflation with Italian Luigi) the older native form Lisi (then also Lici), from the haplological Medieval Latin L(udov)īsi(us)/Lu(do)vīsi(us) (possibly influenced by Occitan (A)loysi(us) or Old French Luis), from Latin Ludovīcus, from Old High German *Hlūtwīg or Frankish *Hlōdowig, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *hlūdaz (“loud, famous”) + *wīgą (“battle”). Compare English Louis, Catalan Lluís, Spanish Luis, German Ludwig, Italian Luigi, Portuguese Luís. Compare the same phono-morphological output also for articianu (“artisan”), parmicianu (“parmisan”), particianu (“partisan”), also Dinisi (“Dionysius, Dennis”) and Tamisi (“Thames”).
