ArchivesRe: Translation of name Luis into Russian
in reply to a message by Anonymous
So I think you want to know 1. The Origin and meaning of Luis 2. The Russian version of it. Well I guess Luis comes from Louis, which comes from the Germanic name Hlodwig. The Russian version is Ludovic. Hlod means Glory, and wig means a fight. So the -ic ending has a different origin from the typical -ic in Russian names, which stands for 'son'.

They aren't "middle names", but rather "father names". "Son of Whomever". They happen to be said between the first name and surname when all names are spoken, but are not true "middle names".
As for the "son" ending, it is vic/vich/vitz/wicz/wikcz depending on where in the Russian-influenced lands you live.
By the way, the female ending is "anov", I think, as in Anastasia Nicholianov Romanov (Anastasia, Nicholas' daughter, of Rome/A Daughter of Rome)
