History & Origin

Ludivina reaches American records chiefly through Mexican and Latina families honoring the saint. It appears from the mid-nineteen-forties and reaches its high in 1979, a heritage name passed along within families rather than following a national fashion.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its peak, and its records run into the two-thousands. A girl named Ludivina in the late nineteen-seventies would be in her late forties today. The name keeps its devotional, distinctly Spanish character.

Did you know? Saint Lidwina of Schiedam is remembered as a patron of the chronically ill and of ice skaters, and her name traveled into Spanish devotion as Ludivina, carried by Latina families in the United States.
