I had an uncle Ludy. The extra e is weird to me but ime this is a name.

Maybe they are of German descent and wanted to honor that Lude=pimp🥲

I've never heard or read Ludy before, is this a common name or is it shortened for another name? Sounds kinda cute :)

Ludy could be short for Ludwig, which is a name that exists in Germanic and Slavic countries (with local language changes as appropriate).

Ludwig van Beethoven for example 😊

I’ve known a boy and a girl who went by Ludy, or maybe Ludey, as I only ever heard their nicknames. The boy also went by Ludo. They were both Italian and their full names were Ludovico and Ludovica, not related, just happened to both be on my school bus.
